So sorry to hear that. It is such a helpless feeling to see one's parents in a decline. Sending healing thoughts and energy to you both.

BEING DISCHARGED IN 40 MINUTES WE ARE DISGUSTED AND DUMBFOUNDED.
I SAID TO MY SISTER YESTERDAY IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY, I WAS SPOT ON.
SHE WILL AWAIT TO HEAR FROM THE AGED PSYCHIATRIST. HT
WHILST A LITTLE BETTER, NOT ENOUGH TO BE TRANSFERED BACK, AND AGED CARE
STIPULATED MUM MUST CAPACITY TO RETURN, AS NOT PSYCH CARE, AND SHE AINT READY.
ERRR. EXPLETIVES!
Sometimes i am me,
Sometimes i am still me.
Ugh, Sounds like a big mess (to put it politely). Keep banging away till they make things right.

I see SO MANY people these days running into brick walls getting appropriate care for the elderly. It just sucks.

Best wishes

Mum has been in psych a few weeks (again), and under the mental health act,
and is being receiving ECT, again. I will pop in tomorrow, been awhile as i have been
in Thailand. We, and the Mental Health Tribrunal have agreed these to be the last, and possibly
maintenance, we shall see.

Hoping the ECT, and the new anti-depressant started a few weeks ago kicks in.
She has been moved to aged psych, near her accomodation, yeah no family notification.
Mum needs to find some inner peace, something we can't give her. Hoping for stabilisation.
i am meant to be retired from HW, however i am still about, that's me i guess.

My best to all. My sis and i are beyond exhausted, beyong the negligent care, beyond the
lack of information, beyond us being the front line. Yes, i was exhausted 2 years ago, could not
continue, however i must, the tribrunal has finally got it, as my sis hit them hard with the
facts.

My best to all. HT
Sometimes i am me,
Sometimes i am still me.
Prayers for your mum Jamie. I hope she gets better with the ECT.

I am glad you are still posting. Though I know how you feel. Especially since the forum has been so slow.

Take care, get some rest.

Hugs, Karen...
