pollyanna1052 said:HORRIBLE!!!! Social services have told me to stop the new agency \I got as they are too dear. They assessed I could have 11 hours at £16.74 an hour. I couldn't find anyone who charged that....so got 9.5 hours for £181 a week. 11 hours costs £184. they say I MUST have 11 hours at no more than the rate they quoted.
Had to sack new agency after only 5 days.
Can I find a PA to do the bitty hours?
I don't know
Better now! Got the agency back and sorted the hours. Phew! -
Onix said:@mrbuttons Totally with you on that. I put on a lot of weight rapidly after an addition to my meds and due to binge eating out of guilt about how much I weigh - I know, that doesn't make sense. I did tell my mh team but they just said go to the gym, weightwatchers even though I can't be in groups and won't walk into places on my own. Now they're changing that med to another which also has a side effect of excessive weight gain, suggested I got something in place, even though I told cpn I couldn't cope with putting even more weight on ??. Reality stinks!!
Hi Onix, I also have a weight issue. Not been mobile for several years has caused me to gain, so has some of my meds.
Just `clicked` into a sensible eating mode, after eating so much rubbish over the festive period.
I am lucky in that my hubby and carer make my meals for me and carer is batch cooking Sliming World recipes for me.
Take care xx

Congratulations @April2018mom on the birth of your baby. I hope you don't have to wait too long to bring her home. It must be hard having a baby in NICU and the others at home.

It is. I am hoping they can discharge her before January ends. She is one day old now. Yes but hopefully not too long.

just one of those days.

Sorry to hear that @AlisonNetty, do you have something you can do this evening to look forward to? This could be a book, TV, a good cup of tea or crafts. I hope tomorrow goes better.
