I found an agency that SS didn't know covered our area and they had the capacity to take DH on so he is now home ahead of care starting on Monday. After being told he might not be home for weeks I bloody did it. I got him home and in time for Christmas.

(back story, DH has terminal cancer and was doing OK apart from some new small tumours and the main one growing again. He was working full time, then he had a massive stroke on 20th November and is now a shadow of his former self, he can't speak, walk or use the right side of his body).
