Judy must be well enough in the hospital's view to consider a discharge

I know both my Mum and myself were discharged at very short notice with no care arranged. My Mum on New Year's Day and me on a Saturday when the chances of arranging help is nil.Glad Judy is coming home to you Mo. But please make sure all the care is in place for you both. If you manage on your own and struggle and don’t say anything they will let you carry on your own which would be too much hard work. Good luck with everything and lots of love from me and Nikki.
And make sure your GP is aware - plus the practice manager and the APNs..... You may have to make a bit of a fuss to get service. There should be a 24 hour emergency line for social services.Just wondering if it would be worth a call to your local Councillor / MP to appraise their offices of the considerable implications?
Please look after yourselves and, as always,
I think deep down in my heart is, they want rid of her because she is taking up a wanted bed in an "Urology" ward, and to all intense and purposes they have done their job...
As the nurse said the missing part of her brain function and mobility problems is not what that ward is for, which I can understand.......
Churchill Hospital, Oxford is a huge place dedicated to certain anatomy`s of the body, and I don`t think brain malfunction and muscle wastage is part of their system, I may be wrong, but reading all about Churchill it is not the place for her... What they do do is short of a miracle...
Just hope when she is home familiar surroundings will change that, and I can help up to a point with mobility issues...
Especially if I tell her I am going to sell her beloved car, as I cannot see her driving again,, and I am not supposed to..

My Mum was supposed to go to an assessment unit for a minimum of a week before her discharge but that just didn't happen as no place was available during a bank holiday and at such short notice. Almost 2 years on and Mum's consultant is still trying to get her a place in an assessment unit but without luck. If it hadn't been for family she would still be in hospital I think.Mo I'm really sorry that you've both been put in this position. I didn't think they could discharge without some sort of assessment. Are social services involved? As much as I know you want Judy home please don't put either of yourselves at risk.
Hope things improve soon.
Love to both of you
Xx
Mo I know you want Judy home BUT do NOT let her be discharged unless there is care ALREADY arranged, they CANNOT send her home in her condition without it, they have a duty of care to ensure that a discharged person is not put at risk and without the care being in place for the day she is discharged that is exactly what they would be doing. If it means she has to stay there for another day or two then so be it, once home trying to get care sorted can be difficult and take time.They are evicting/Discharging Judy this Sunday (Tomorrow)...
I wouldn't tell her your selling the car. If its on the drive there is an incentive for her to get well enough to drive it. May encourage her to eat better to get well again.Just a though.Just hope when she is home familiar surroundings will change that, and I can help up to a point with mobility issues...
