buchan30 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I did a stint working in addictions, do as I say not as I do springs too mind. Anyway I've been supping alcohol gel half the afternoon... I've not really.Have you read adam kays book? He talks about a patient who used to drink the alcohol gel, but it wasn’t as good since they changed the recipe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going after me viciously too (might still be for all I know) and I felt it was making my time on here less enjoyable. Putting him on Ignore has certainly made the forum more readable, even if some people do quote him meaning I can see him lashing out! Great call Marshy, have a greenie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Ignore List is a personal thing and I'd rather not embarrass the Bigmouth Strikes Agains or 8MileBUs of the world by sharing mine publically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the major concerns which he completely misses is that it is almost impossible to staff some schools because so many staff are off self-isolating.If some schools in some LAs are at that point then blended learning is not the answer - you really need to be looking at school closures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 This is quite hard but hopefully a bit therapuetic. My auld man will die within the next few days, he's in hospital with late stage dementia after losing the ability to eat and having a delerium. He's been in a ward for 8 days and we have been now told he has Covid. They have informed us that it is palliative care and they will make his journey as smoothe as possible. I will not see my dad again after being his carer for 5 years and to be honest I don't want to. He was probably near the end of life but to go out that way is a kick in the nuts. So basically I'm saying don't be c***s and underestimate the human effect this disease has. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him home to die with dignity at home till the covid came into it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had much the same with my Dad before covid, looking after him at home with dementia till he broke his hip and caught pneumonia in hospital after a successful operation. He probably didn't have long anyway, they used to call pneumonia the old man's friend. Let my sister go to the hospital alone at the end with a lame excuse. It was because I wanted to remember how he was a couple of weeks before when we went out for a pint, even though he no longer knew who I was, not flat out in a hospital bed unconscious and fading away. Stay strong. Edited November 21, 2020 by welshbairn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
