just thinking?

[Dogsabighelp]

thanks guys for replies,good to know some people "get me"! i know i come over as somewhat bonkers,in truth always been this way but last 2 years of confusion have really pushed my boundries.so,i was thinking...if s/services wont consider my house as suitable for sean to come and visit,maybe he could visit next door?....my freind has m/s and as they have every possible adaptions in their home which they own even the kerb outside is dropped whats to stop a visit?....of course they are going to come up with some excuse,which i will counter with the c.o.p order im taking for seans welfare.my freinds are more than happy for their home to be "assessed".sean wants to be able to go out,of course he is very disabled but we live in a small village,people ask about him,i am going to prove it beneficial that he gets visits home and will get petition if necessary.socks will sign first...there has been some hilarity im told about world cup,bless him he decided to watch england/france in his room as he has caused so much drama/swearing etc.they had to prop his room door open.now he says doesnt care who wins...(im thinking he has sneaky respect for mr messi..)so,thats it apart from still no carpet in the green room and socks made me fall down in ice right in front of pub delivering xmas cards,"You ok"?i said **** ***...

Dear Dogsabighelp,

What lovely Neighbours you Have! Yes DO Take Them Up, on their delightful 'Offer', that way you might be able to bring Hubby 'Home'.

Yes you are right Social Services, and maybe 'others' too, may very well put up Barriers but, with such Wonderful and Generous- Friends/ Neighbours- you may, very well, Win out.

As regards being 'Crazy', first of all you're NOT and secondly Aren't We ALL, in some way? In any event you are, more than welcome, to Vent/ Rant/ Rave as much as you Want/ Need to Babe.

Wishing well, as always, Sweetheart..... give Socks a 'pet', for me. I hope you ALL have a very

Merry Christmas.

Hi, yes, I agree, you certainly should ask about your neighbours house. It should meet their 'risk assessments' I would expect. My hubby had first trip out a couple of weeks ago, big wheelchair so limited to big shops, Sainsbury's and local department store. (He 'chose' a shirt using eye movements.) I'd previously asked about getting him home for a visit, answer was 'no' at that time, as it would need full risk assessment, but I will try again next year. We couldn't get the wheelchair into the house I don't think, but garden would be nice. He needs a trained carer, with full emergency trachiostomy kit, so not an easy thing. But just taking him in Sainsbury's was heartwarming. Hope you get your lad home for a visit soon!

What a psychological boost it would be for Sean to come home for a visit ; surely there shouldn't be any objection to something so beneficial, especially with the kind cooperation of your friend next door. Keep at 'em girl 'til they see sense and put the necessary measures in place !

Sorry to hear you took a tumble m'love ; the ice has been treacherous. It's such a shock when your feet slide from under you and I hope you didn't do serious damage ! I'm guessing Sox won't be in the dog house for too long....

Take care D. Xx

Hi D, keep at em D, I know in the end you will win, and Sean can visit home again wow what a visit that would be, even if it’s not Xmas you will have to do what I did, my daughter was in Iraq for Christmas , not home until April so we had tree up and another dinner etc with her presents then when she came home, it was awesome, very emotional, I’m sure whatever you decide Sean is going to love it . Hope you’ve recovered from your tumble, I hate ice, have to be so careful I don’t bang my head with my aneurysm, take care my friend keep fighting love Alice xx

[Dogsabighelp in reply to Alibongo60]

thanks ali,i will,,tell your girly keep the faith,this time nxt year my boy will be home if we have to sit in garden,it will happen!

[Alibongo60]

Thanks D, you know they are very special people and deserve to be cared for, Help For Heroes are there for all forces, Sean doesn’t have to be injured in war , for them to help, they can provide equipment etc, to get Sean home. If I don’t speak to you again before hand have a lovely Christmas love Alice xx
