Done!!

Ready and waiting, OJ.

spoke to the consultant today, she told me that her and the social worker had spent some time yesterday filling out forms for "fast track" she says that because steves condition has got much worse and he has limited time he can be put throu on fast track, i asked how long fast track took i need to check that NHS fast and my fast are indeed the same thing or even if they are spelt the same she said she couldn't give me a date cos she doesn't want us to be let down or dissappointed yet again.

Hello OJ, sorry I haven't been much of a support to you but I wanted to pop in and say hi and that I do have a little read here sometimes to see how you and Steve are doing.

You mustn't be so hard on yourself for doing the bare minimum at home - for goodness' sake, that's all anyone could do in your position - you're doing what's important spending what time you have left with Steve and supporting your children and yourself. I think you're handling things perfectly and I am full of admiration for you.

Sounds like you have an understanding consultant. Hope the NHS spells fast the way it should

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that "fast track" really means "extra fast", OJ. You never know!

Ireally hope" fast track "means "fast track" and you get Steve home very soon.
As always Oj you and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.xx

Thinking of you, OJ. Lots of love,

wow - at last some positive action !!
The fast track is just 1 form and is usually fast so should have a definite outcome soon.
it is usually used in dead cert cases so you should be ok.
just let me know if you run into any problems with geting equipment set up etc

OJ- I hope you are allspeaking the same language.. the sort where fast measn very soon.. pronto.. without any delay at all.
You are doing so well dealing with such horrible stuff.
I am available for general housework next Tuesday if it's all too much... let me know1

OJ, lets hope FAST means before the weekend or early next week. So glad to that you finally have a glimmer of hope that Steve could be home soon. It was lovely to chat to you last night. I echo what Triplets said. I wish I lived closer to you too but we'll have to make do with phone calls instead. Love to you, Steve & the children. xxx

tonight i feel hopeful, i dare not get too excited thou.
i don't think anything will happen until next week. i haven't told Steve yet as don't want to get his hopes up just yet.
lovely to see you anorak i think of you often but not caught up with you for a while.
robinpud, sod the housework, could do breakfast at ikea thou.
the consultant says not to worry about the bed as she says the DN will sort it once steve is home.

Hoping 'fast track' means just that for you all

I am with Steve now. the nurse thinks he will be home early next week [ grin]

OJ glad there is some better news about when Steve can come home. Hoping the next few days bring a definite time and date. I remember all the stuff I went through when my mum was ill - the assessments and decisions did not keep up with what was happening to her physically. I remember the time it took to get anything sorted. And I remember how much I missed my mum as was, the vibrant, supportive person that she had been, the person I just wanted to talk to at the end of each day about the stuff I faced, but knew I no longer could. I remember though, later on, how things did speed up, how decisions about care took less time.

Triplets, you are much in my thoughts.
