Today Recived Call Of DADs Social Worker Re Cov-19 And Help With Isolation

Told social worker nar we are Ok 👌 we is ok for now ... she asked given my condition’s asked if I would be TO which I said like f@&&& am after night I have had.

So we got talking about Hysterical shoppers and internet shopping TOLD her internet shopping would not work as orders being cancelled given lemons 🍋 panicking THEN I asked what’s procedure if carers don’t come if have to self isolate.

Anyway she said she did not know SO I told her it’s good job I have read policy document and sounded cRers out.

So she asked me to explain SO did told social worker FROM my understanding GOV are going to issues care agancy with protective equipment SO she listened THEN I said carers told me would not go to infected homes even with equipment SO she wanted to know how would get out of it

So I said like any good rate would contact you and say contract is null void as needs new carer assessment.

Then I said Issue would fall on nhs Hands given gov policy SO guess be between you and nhs to fight it out

Then I told her Sure am going to sensible when out BUT why would I self isolate when have carers come in with no protection I might as gonout and enjoy myself given risk they put me in I can’t do anything about

Hi JAS,

I'm glad that you've aired your concerns about your dad's care with his social worker on how to proceed in the current crisis. It's good that you always make your dad your priority, even though you have your own health issues to worry about too.

I'd say to make sure you co-operate with the latest bit of advice you are given and try to accept that this may have to change sometimes, and you may not always have full faith in it.

The important thing to remember is that this is an unprecedented situation for us all, and we are all feeling our way with it, so mistakes will be made on all sides, that need to be adjusted as we understand more. People with a lot of experience in infection control are trying to formulate safe practices for us to follow. So even when we might not completely agree, we don't always have enough depth of understanding of what will be safe, or not. We must all be very careful not to accidentally cause a situation that will jeopardise the person we are caring for, or ourselves.

I know you'll do your best, because you always do.

Do take care and I hope that you and your dad stay safe and as well as you can.

Hi JAS🙋‍♀️and i agrre with you and Hidden on various points. We are caught up in the unknown and those in government never like to state that red is red and blue is blue ....they choose somewhere inbetween so are basically non-committal. That way they've covered themselves which ever way . Doesn't help us much though. This is going to be a total change in the way we do many things and lets hope that we still have a "care system" in place that works even through the darkest of days. Love to your dear Dad and good to see you are giving us.an idea how lofe is for you and your family. Stay safe my friend. 🐿💕

Hi JAS, great replies from others and I’m glad you spoke to the social worker. I’m not sure what to do anymore as life as we know it has changed completely. I will be seeing my family one way or another but it’s all very scary. I need to be careful because I have to keep Pete well.

You take care and stay safe and well. Xxxx
