Don’t think I’ve started off very well I’ve been housebound for two years with acute back problems  four weeks ago my son Ben had a stroke I’m devastated my daughter has taken on dealing 
with corresponding with hospital as I can’t take it in I could go on and on but I’m that confused if I post this I’m not sure who’s going to end up receiving it 
maybe I’ll come back another day 
and try again sorry whomever gets this

Welcome to the forum. Don’t worry you’ve done fine posting it. I’m sorry to hear about your own back problems leaving you housebound. You must be so worried about your son. That’s good that your daughter is corresponding with the hospital. Have you got any news about the severity of the stroke and what they think his recovery will be like?

Is your son getting ongoing support following his stroke? It must have been very upsetting indeed. It sounds like you've rallied together as a family and are helping each other out  

I'm sorry to hear about your acute back problems, have you asked your GP about a referral for a needs assessment, if you'd like more support day to day?
