To cut a long story short, amd disabled mum of 3 special needs children, and have been waiting for major abdominal surgery for a very long time.
Currently receive direct payments from social services for my ongoing day to day needs, but following my urgery two weeks ago, am hitting a brick wall with post-op care.
I have help in place with the children, but nothing for me. Am unable to drive or lift for at least a month, and have frequent medical and physio appointments that I am unable to get to as I can neither use public transport nor afford taxis. Even the community transport service wants at least £20 for a round trip to the hospital, which I just don't have.
I would be grateful if anyone could give any further advice on where I can get some desparately needed help. As I understood, social care had a duty during post-op periods, but they are telling me not.
Thanks
J
