[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 3610096, member: 1008"] My father has a form of cancer, the treatment of which would probably kill him, he had one dose of chemo which nearly did so they stopped treatment but that does seem to have left the cancer dormant. He also has dementia which is getting progressively worse. When he was discharged from hospital in October 2014 he was more or less sent home to die, he had lost 5 stone in weight in hospital and they said he'd never eat solid food again. This turned out to be far from the truth as once back home he ate properly and was soon coming out and about with me in the Land Rover and we even had him in the tractor a few times. But just before Christmas 2015 he got pneumonia and had to go into hospital for a few days but once in they weren't willing to let him home, said we couldn't look after him properly, but as he doesn't like hospital food mother was going in twice a day to feed him. Seven weeks of arguing it took to get him home and in all the time he was in there they never got him out of bed once, they wanted him in a care home. Before going in, although not particularly mobile he always came to the table for meals and although he wore nappies for accidents he would tell us when he wanted to go on the kamode. So that was seven weeks they just let him sh!t and pee( I wonder what the swear filter will say) in nappies in bed. And they have the cheek not only to tell us we can't look after him properly , they also talk of bed blocking! I really feel sorry for anyone elderly who has no one to care for them, I'm 100% sure that if dad had been left in the care of the state for too long he would be dead today. [/QUOTE]
