Zoey Update 8th October

Nothing has really changed.

Ironically, the two things we’re waiting to get resolved are both things which were not an issue when she went into hospital!

Legally she’s on a Section 3, for those who don’t know, this means that until such time as she has improved she is imprisoned for her own good for 6 months and then indefinitely subject to reviews.

It’s not a nice thought but it is the reality. If she gets better then she can be sent home. Right now I just don’t know ‘if’ she will get better. They know she needs speech therapy and continence advice, there is a significant waiting list for both. So, in the meantime, they’re just hoping the situation sorts itself out as they are not really doing anything except babysitting from what I’ve seen.

Social Services have apparently allocated her a new key worker to assess her needs and place together a revised home package, they have so far not managed to contact me with this information though.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
