My uncle Leon very poorly

[Marian]

I've had two spells in hospital in the last few years, after a hip replacement and then a stroke, and both stays were good, if not spectacular! The food wasn't too good but then I had to have soft diet after the stroke. I lost nearly a stone!

I hope your Uncle is comfortable if he goes into the hospice Maxine.

George never actually got to go into our local Hospice, although he was due to. But I have been to see several friends who had to go in. Our Hospice is called "Hospice in the Weald" and is one of the lovliest, most tranquil places I know. I have been there since George died, they have a remembrance book, and several gardens of remembrance, where you can buY flowers in memory of a loved one. At the time it was a bluebell path, so George is in the Bluebell book--but they have a rose garden, peony garden etc etc.

Uncle Wright is back in hospital again, same thing happened again, another fall. This is the 3rd time in about 7 weeks. I really don't know what will happen now, I think he is going to need more of a care package, I don't think 1 person coming once a day for a few minutes is enough for him now.

[karl]

John that's a shame, I am sorry to hear that. Do you think he will be taken into care now?

[john]

I don't know Karl. I will phone the hospital again later on. I only spoke to him on Saturday as well and he sounded fine then.

[maxine]

so sorry to hear this John ...i know how you are feeling and i am thinking of your Uncle

[john]

Thanks Maxine, I phoned the hospital tonight, he had moved wards again from yesterday, the nurse couldn't tell me a lot as he had only just been moved, but she said he was smiling away and quite happy. Just have to see how he goes on again.

Sorry to read about your uncle being back in hospital John. We hope that they will be able to offer him a suitable care package so that you will have peace of mind knowing that he will be looked after.

[Marian]

Very sorry to hear that Uncle Wright is back in hospital again John. It is worrying when the elderly keep having falls, I've had a couple myself recently, and a fall out of bed!! Must learn to take more water with it.
Seriously though John, I hope your Uncle will soon be home again with a more realistic care package for his needs. When someone lives alone though it's difficult to monitor them all the time. Does he have a call bell to alert someone close if he gets into trouble?

[maxine]

bless him ...x
