well, thanks all for your support/concern,what a situation...i have not had any word from home manager,nor did i contact unit.i have my reasons .at the time,i rang unit and spoke to this woman,and she got "full barrels"i was furious and told her i would be reporting this.i said she was a disgrace,how dare she shout at my son like that.told her to go and apologise to him.i could feel her fear,what else could she do?caught red handed.sean restop ported by messenger she came and sat with him,"tearfull and sorry".he is more forgiving than i am...of course one time caught out,how many others not so?i will assume that,as no one has contacted me,this incident was not reported and as she apologised this woman thinks she is off the hook.or,the situation has been recorded and in some way been considered of no importance?either way,the 7 minutes sean pressing buzzer because he needed wee is recorded on our devices.could you wait that long?im confident enough in myself,they should be more bothered...we have new rules now.sean continues to express his dislike of his situation both private and on occasion facebook.his posts are never complimentory.i have tried in past to stop this,now i dont,he has every right to complain,i support him100%.i will visit friday,hoping for a "can we have a chat"?im ready for that,other than i wont be saying anything..strange thing,but i have learned a lot...

Hi D, well your braver than me, I don’t think I’d have been letting her off with an apology, I have worked with clients with brain injury usually dementia, but still the same and still very trying at times, and you can’t allow them to allow you to react. If you find yourself in this position you walk away and cool off before you get to that stage, you can’t take it out on the client, they are in the wrong job. As nanapal will tell you I defended the nurse who caused the injury whilst catheterisation, because it was an accident, and the nurse would have been mortified, but this is the opposite, and she deserves all she gets, if she had anything about her she would have reported herself, I wish you luck my friend love Alice xx

I do hope this gets resolved for both your son and you .. unfortunately I have seen it first hand in the jobs that I has done pre TBI and it still continues .. please keep your recording in a safe place in case you decide to take a different approach .. there are a lot of people out there doing the wrong jobs as you do have to bite your tongue and walk away . Fingers crossed your sons care will improve ..sue x
