Hi Nick
Sorry I've just read your post .
So how is your Dad at the moment , please ? .
I recently took my Wife to A&E , Ipswich Hospital , and we were in there overnight for 12 hours , so I know exactly what it's like . You were great in keeping your temper under control under stressful circumstances , I could have quite happily punched the first hospital employee I saw who just wound me up .
My Mum had dementia , and it became too hard for her to live at home so she went to live in a friendly care home in the village .
Fortunately I didn't have to deal with a social worker , just a care home Manager with empathy , and knew what she was doing .
Take care .
😃
