considering what Fred's had gone wrong over the last week or so, the last thing he needs is another pain in the ( ! )

We can cope with her, parochial thing, Fred knows her dad and she is a local, which is quite important in a village.

It is just a shame she is such a pain in the......!

Luckily, she doesn't come round very often.

Oh dear poor Fred. Why oh why do some carers treat the old as though they are babies :-S. My youngest worked in a care home and she hated hearing that done to the residents.

She sounds horrible.

When my late step-father was getting"care" from district nurses, it was a nightmare.

Most of them were very nice, very professional. Some of them were NOT.

Especially the one who shouted at Mum (who is not deaf) about Step-pa's'condition..... as if he wasn't in the room. She upset everybody.

Can you ask for a different "carer"?

I fear there would still be the hum going on, even if she couldn't get her jaws apart.

I think she trained as a children's nanny and I want to tell her there is a nine before the four when she is talking to Fred!

She hasn't gone yet.

I can't even hear the other carer.

I want to go downstairs and kill her!

Poor old devil is being dragged out of bed by the carer who doesn't shut up, talks in a sing- song voice and ends every sentence to him with the word 'Fred'.

Yesterday she woke me up to tell me his catheter had been caught up in the night, there was blood in his urine (we know, he is on Warfarin and we have been there before!) and that his foreskin was "out of place".

There are departments that are no concern of mine, and, wherever he has put it, it can stay there.

I don't think Fred was best pleased to hear the melodious tones disturbing his slumbers, or searches for misplace attachments, this morning!
