@DSmith hello, I sent you a reply to your message it’s just below your message.so stressed I just realised I forgot to put your name on it I hope that you get it.i hope you are having a good day.
@Teddybear, these are one of the many routes I’m exploring. But it’s trying to get these people to listen. But I’ll definitely chase this up. Once I have a few personal matters sorted then I’ll chase it up.
P.S. I live in Wythenshawe, Manchester. My mum is in a care home in Salford. And it wasn’t through choice, it was forced on us by the social worker.

@JohnnyBoy good .i know what you mean the hardest part is getting these people to listen. That is the hardest part they just don’t listen. Yes chase it up . In the past I’ve seen few stories where people have done that. Then once she is home and starts to get better.you and her could then adjust things to suit you both. The priority is getting her own any way possible. Did she have physio to Johnnyboy. When she is over this virus and feels better if she is able to walk. Get her some physio, ask them for physio for her.and say you want them to come every week . Not once a month or anything. But every week then that will help her.if she stand. Don’t let them say no. Have to push. District nurse said to me once you have to fight anything you want. I hope you feeling abit better and resting and your mum is doing ok.
@JohnnyBoy hiya just checking that you are ok and to see how you are doing if you are feeling better and how your mum is to. That’s a trek isn’t it you live in wythenshaw and your mum is in Salford.how far apart is that. Couldn’t they have put her somewhere nearer in wythenshaw .i have been to wythenshaw once along time ago to the hospital.anyway I hope that you are ok. Take care.

@Teddybear, thanks for checking on me. My mum passed away yesterday morning (05/03/2026). I kept vigil at her bedside in her final hours. I’m currently in the process of sorting out her legal affairs.

@JohnnyBoy oh Johnnyboy I am so so sorry. I did not realise she was so poorly.i wanted to see that you were ok .i just thought you were quiet because you were sorting things out .i am so glad that you were there and SW i am so mad at for putting you through all you have been through the past few weeks. Yes you have all the paperwork to sort out that’s never easy is it. May I ask how old your mum is. I often wondered when chatting to you. Are there any family or friends going to come and be with you.i know you said family are in Ireland and friends in EU. You take care.
@JohnnyBoy Heart goes out to you. We are here if you need us. xx

Hugs, Johnnyboy.
Sadly I’m all too familiar with dealing with the death of relatives. Take 24 hours off from what I call the legalities of death. There is no hurry now, mum is at peace. Be guided by your funeral director. Concentrate solely on giving mum a proper send off. Anything else can wait. Remember this is a forum for former, as well as current carers. Feel free to ask us whatever we can help with.
