District nurses and palliative care nurses visiting regularly and now a delivery of useful equipment just 4 hours after a visit from the Occupational Therapist. The inflatable mattress should help protect against bed sores, the adjustable bed rest will help Col to sit up comfortably, a walking frame to help him get to the en suite bathroom and a frame around the raised toilet seat so he can use the toilet. Plus a commode if he can no longer get there. It's all go!
I get the feeling the local NHS/ Social Services is on some kind of bonus on how many walking frames and commodes they can hand out. Most folks houses havent got the space for them without major adjustment.

As October approaches (1oo days to christmas) i suppose it is covid and flu booking time

Wendy, thinking of you both.
Hopefully things will be a little bit easier now for Colin’s mobility and comfort.

Morning Wendy.... I'm pleased to hear you are getting good service. I hope they keep it up.
I understand your response to Kev's post but he's right, things like eating regularly and resting when you can will help. I think it's wonderful that Col has a guardian angel.... Please give him my best and take a virtual hug from me..... :good:
