Why should pester power just work for kids? 18 days ago I posted that I was getting little decent aftercare and was advised by many of you to do something about it and not wait!Generally I'm not backward at coming forward but was a bit weak and vulnerable...but reinvigorated by your comments I did.! Phone calls to Cardiac rehab and consultants secretaries and audiology departments in which assertiveness was very much to the fore as to why I hadn't heard anything and that I was not happy with my aftercare firstly elicited very defensive excuses from all ...but lo and behold a few days later I had appointments made for Cardiac rehab,hearing assessments and a follow up call from the consultant!
One thing I think should be immediately put in place for men ,as it is a well known medical fact that everyone knows we are not anatomically designed to change duvet covers,is help with this impossible task!

Hi khartoum7. Pleased to hear of your successes with a wide range of departments. Is this anatomical defect also the cause of a lack of ability to Hoover and cook as well? If so, vast quantities of funding should be made immediately available so you poor souls can be "fixed".
You big brave soldier, I award you a big gold star {chocolate} really pleased that someone is listening to that new found voice of yours……..let it roar !!!!!
Well done getting all of those departments to pay attention to you!
As far as changing duvet covers is concerned, I am a woman with around 45 years of experience of that soul-destroying job, and I'm still learning! Best of luck with your funding application!
haha...thanks..looking forward to my rehab and hopefully hearing aid soon....The battles I've had......and lost with duvet covers! I usually end up inside them!
2. Lay the clean cover inside out on top of it with the reverse facing up.
3. Stand beside the bed and put one arm inside the duvet (gathering it up your arm) and grab the corner of both cover and duvet 4. Hold tightly and turn the duvet cover over the duvet. Get the top tidy on that side and lay it back on the bed.
5. Repeat with the other side.
6. Work the cover down between bed and duvet, do up the bottom.
7. Grab the bottom edge, a quick “wave shake” and job done.
The bed takes the weight and you don’t have to get inside!
Well done on several fronts. Telling the medical profession you're not happy is difficult and now we are predisposed to put it down to the pressure they're under. As for duvet covers, I went back to fleece blankets. Much easier.
There are now duvets which have a printed design on them so I use one with a sheet underneath it. The sheet is a lot easier to wash weekly and just bung the duvet in the washer every now and then…Hey presto! 😉
