Ask as many questions as you can. Do as much research as you can. Call the helpline. Use this forum. Check all basically!
All the best and hope I can be of some help.
Hope the above link helps Yojo.
The only aftercare I received was a contact number for the Specialist Nurse on the Neurology Team and a recall appointment. To be fair, I declined the offer of visits from a social worker.
I hope all works out well for your dad after his discharge ; for further support you can always phone the Headway helpline on 0808 800 2244.
Best wishes, Cat xx
Hi
Not sure what you might need - and I don't think I came out with any plan whatsoever - so had to rely of friends and family chasing things on my behalf.
Community neuro rehab team were great - didn't hear about them until a few weeks after - worth contacting asap.
Headway - maybe trying to see if they will visit at home ?
Remploy - very good at talking to me about money/employment issues and great at talking to me about benefits ( I wasn't eligible for anything apart from taxi to work later on ) . And very well informed about medical issues.
Own Gp practice - make sure they are on board about all of the issues faced - I even had deal with my receptionists that I would walk to see them every day - even if just to say hello ( I live alone so important that someone knew if I was absent).
These are my initial thoughts for you.
Goodluck
One thing I would advise is......
If you are going to take any medication please make sure you have a list of what tablet and what time you are ment to take it.... I struggled with this!
All the best of luck
Be kind to yourself
Laugh alot
