She is a falls risk but has refused help. My dad died back in October. My niece lives there with her but works full time. DM had an accident on BD and cut her leg badly. Paramedics came out and wanted to take her to hospital due to dangerously high blood pressure but she refused to go. DN went on holiday for a week for NY (booked last summer) DM tried to guilt trip her into not going by saying she probably wouldnt be alive when she got back.
Social presciber from DMs surgery phoned me last week Offering falls pendant and key safe. DM doesnt want either. She shouted that she doesnt want carers coming in despite being unable to bathe. And that if they turn up she will tell them to go away. She said that DB does it (care) and will not listen to me or DN (DBs daughter) DB works full time. Shifts all over the place. He is run ragged and cant keep doing it. Lost so much weight. DM is emotionally abusive She was fucking awful to my dad saying it wasnt prostate cancer and that it was an STI. He was 88 when he died and diagnosed last spring. I have bowel issues and get moaned at when i need the loo too many times when im round there.
I cant commit to her care due to other commitments. some of which are foisted upon me because i rent
And im not willing to do it while being moaned at and shouted at all the time. Shes very hard of hearing , refuses to use a hearing aid and then accuses people of saying stuff they havent then moaning and shouting about me having to raise my voice. I wont do her care Im just not doing it. I phoned adult social care three a half weeks ago but if shes going to refuse carers its a waste of an assesment
