As most of you know my 93 year old mum is getting to be a bit of a hand full. Last weekend she was taken by my brother and his partner to the local hospital as her knee had swollen up(mums not his partners)
I knew about her knee last week as she had been to the Drs who had given her some stronger painkillers, and she was getting muddled as to when to take them,now I had been in discussion with mum that if she was having difficulty walking to let me know as I was off work this week and could come and help her( didn't know i was going to go down with flu)
anywho, got a text on Sat to say she had been taken to Hospital, then got another later to say He was phoning the council on Monday to see about getting her some help.
my daughter text and asked me to phone the housing association and see if mum could move into the ground floor flat that had just become empty over the road from mum, so because I have lost my voice, I emailed brother with a long winded reason of how he could ask the housing and tell them they would be getting a 3 bed family house in exchange, but that she would not go into sheltered so they couldn't expect her to move if she couldn't get the flat.
I was confident that I could convince her this was the best option for her as, she keeps saying brother and co are trying to put her away. this was Sunday evening.
Tuesday I got a one liner off brother that says" It will have to be sheltered, I've put her name on the rehousing list"!!!
I have been trying for10 years to get her to do this and he thinks he can just get her to agree to move?
she has lived at this house for 56 years, Gave birth to my younger brother there and also buried him from there, he expects her to just walk away, the mans a Bloody LOONIE
As I will, no doubt, be the one to pick up the pieces and take all the flack, I have emailed the housing dept, and asked for more info on the places that are available for her and explained the exact reason for ,said brothers call,
I have also explained that because mum is deaf they are not to take offense if they call her when she slams the phone down on them or tells them to "PISS OFF"
my rant for today is over, no doubt more will follow. NW xx
