just checking in and to thankyou all for your wise words and continued support,it really means the world to me.since his outburst,son they say has shown no interest in doing any facetime calls.well,this is what they say,not sure i beleive them...anyway,i stayed away last week it would not have helped either of us it was the correct thing for me to do for myself.now i wished i had gone becuse they phoned tues to say all visits were suspended for safety of patients and because low staff numbers due to self isolating.this makes me worry even more?i ring every day of course.since he pulled out throat tube again he is in room opp nurses station and next to lounge this is where he spends most of the day.ive kept busy done some decorating/gardening.taught "socks"how to play hide and seek which he likes until i find a really good place then he cries..its hard but im coping....xx

You're doing a great job D, adjusting to every bump in the journey and making every effort to keep sane and strong for Sean. Your hide & seek with Sox sounds like some welcome and well deserved respite from life's dirty tricks.

Keep strong m'love... Cat x

Hello Dogsabighelp, i feel hospitals/rehab centres going to be iffy with visiting again, but I would recommend going through CQC complaints system as your experience cant be repeated. Whilst unable to visit son give yourself TLC. You are also high priority number one to ensure your own emotional and physical wellbeing is stable to continue supporting son long term.

Socks sounds adorable and a right character x

It's a rollercoaster with the visiting jeez, but do look after yourself,get your phone calls to him into your daily routine ,I always feel more relaxed after hearing from him, unless it's a rant off him lol I,m still on the one hour a week visit which I now do at weekends cos he seems to get agitated then with boredom, You are important look after yourself

Really glad to hear you are in a better place. Unfortunately about restrictions on visiting is effecting a lot of people in various settings, you can't control this. As you said, it was the right to abstain from visiting. It has given you time to reset. Great news about Socks, glad you are having fun together. X
