Yesterday I had a call about my new care plan.
My word indeed!
I currently get 28 hours and 2 sleepovers.
I had previously rung Social Services in a distressed state, telling them hubby and I were struggling to cope, as my care needs increase and he weakens...We are 67 and 71...not spring chickens, but feeling like old boilers!
After several interrogations, meetings and so on, they have come up with....
23.25 hours and 3 sleeps.
Hubby has gone doolally! He needs MORE help in the day, not when he`s chuffin asleep!
Wait till Monday!
Oh I`m so tired!

Hope you can get it changed (increased with daily)
At least you got the good PIP result, anyhow.
Keep battling on, if you have anything left! x

Thankyou for your support...it means a lot.xx
So, today we told the social worker what we NEED. She has taken it on the chin and will be presenting her manager with it. She said `We need to get this resolved asap now`.
I agree..it`s in it`s 4th or 5th week now.
Been shopping and got a new nightie and bed jacket (should that be straightjacket?)
I`ll be going into The Walton centre for neurological tests (MRIs) and stuff soon.
Life sure ain`t boring!

I`ve got an agency starting on 30th Dec.........new care plan has been agreed by Social Services...
and I can finally breathe peacefully again!
Bestie Bev, my carer who has been with me for 8.5 years has reduced her hours a bit and is happy...she has 22 hours now plus 2 sleeps,, is dropping to 17 hours, plus 2 sleepovers and the agency has 9.5 hours.
So after DWP, Council care charges, new care plan woes...they`re all sorted......innit luverly!
Just the hospital stay and investigations to happen on 15th Dec.
But I`m not worked up over that......it`ll be a change of scenery and a break for t`old fella!
