If they want to discharge her lf and there's no one to collect or care for her I'm sure they'll keep her another night.

Kaydee - I am sorry to hear about what you are having to deal with. I hope something is sorted out for your son now and not in 6 months time when he becomes an adult. Thanks for the info re Admiral Nurses - I shall check them out.
leaguefreak - I hope all is well your end and things are ok since your last post. When my MiL was in hospital and they wanted to discharge her they had to wait 24 hours so that my OH could get to the house and arrange care support.

I spent all last night downloading documents for the Power of Attorney which I sorting out for my Mum. Unfortunately the doctor failed to sign the Finance one last week so I need to return it back to him - I couldn't be there so am trying to find out if there was an issue with this. I wanted the Finance one more than the Health one so that I can speak to the bank to put in place some safety measures as Mum has been buying lots of food/cleaning items for her 'new home'.
My uncle then called me at 21:50 to ask me "what the hell is going on with your Mum" as she had been texting him and phoning him about the incident with my Dad. I haven't spoken with him since his last call 14 months ago when another issue kicked off. I was really p*ssed off as he only called me as she was annoying him. I didn't get around to asking him if he had wished his sister a happy birthday. And at that time of night too - needless to say I didn't sleep very well as I was so annoyed.
Not heard back from Social Services yet (no surprises there) - apart from they have passed my message on to the relevant team.
I did receive a message from the GP surgery but only to let me know that the doctor is going to phone me next Friday (not tomorrow).
I have spent this evening looking into temporary live in care for when my Dad goes away next month.
In the meantime, my parents are sort of talking to one another and my Dad did the right thing on their anniversary but only after his sister told him to!!
I am hoping that I can have an evening to myself tomorrow (fingers crossed).

If the doc is hard to pin down I think you can use anyone who knows your mum and will vouch for her understanding what she’s signing. Though we used doctor too….

20 years ago, it was the in-laws' 40th wedding anniversary and we all went to a hotel at Sandbanks in Dorset where they had a baby sitting service so we could all have a celebratory dinner in peace.
10 years ago, it was their 50th, we all went along to a hotel in the New Forest and all the grandkids were aged ten to mid-teens. Even then, the in-laws were declining a bit.
Today is their 60th. None of their grandkids are going, though they are mostly 20-somethings. It would confuse FiL who a) doesn't know who anyone else is and b) now thinks he, himself, is around 25 years old and unmarried.

Oh, and it will just be in their garden of course. Just their four children and partners.
I think the last time either of them stayed away was just after that New Forest celebration but they had to come back early as FiL didn't know where he was, especially when waking up.
