Thank you everyone that has been following the updates on my dad and offering me support and advice Yesterday I had carers phone and they weren’t told he was coming home, the paramedics removed all his medication and god knows what happened to it. No discharge letter so I have no clue what went on and to top it off I had some strange episode last nights I sort of blacked out and woke up screaming frightened the life out of my husband. I think the days stress just sent me over the edge, he was going to call an ambulance I’m off to the doctor tomorrow my level of anxiety is through the roof !!!
Husband went round and took some food for my dad. He has no recollection of what happened to him. He can’t use his phone anymore as not capable. I can’t go round there as the mere thought of it sends me into a panic attack. I’ve constantly had carers phoning me if things are that bad they’ll have to complain and get social services involved as I’ve tried everything in my power and nobody is listening or wants to.

Hi.
This is disgusting how you have both been treated. They need to take action and help your Dad now. Definitely complain when you feel up to it. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Forgive me if I'm saying the wrong thing here but wouldn't it be better for all concerned if your Dad went into a care home where he had constant attention and you wouldn't have the worry and stress of organising care.
This is a horrible thing to have to deal with without having to chase down your dad's meds and discharge notes. Please insist on speaking to someone at the hospital tomorrow, the least they can do is talk to you. Best of luck.
Hi Jo, it's just going from bad to worse for you and your Dad, my heart goes out to you both.
It is appalling that they should discharge him with no notes or meds, and not inform next of kin they are doing it, especially as he is a vulnerable person. They have a duty of care.
You really should contact PALS, about this.
They should be able to sort this out. It's just not fair to expect carers, to have to sort out shortcomings in the NHS. I think bantam12 has a point. If your Dad were in a care home, they would have the experience to sort out this tragic mess.
The effect all this is having on you is unacceptable. You need help as much as your Dad.
