So pleased to hear things are going so well, I have read the updates from the regular emails on go fund me too. But pleased to hear you (mum) are able to get a little respite for a short while with lovely wonky taking care of you. Take care all xxxx
Love hearing your good news! And remember, it won't be long before you're all sitting out in the garden together - although I suspect Rob will be in a nice shady spot for most of it. Regardless, it's always more relaxing outdoors isn't it? 😊 x
Thank you all for your wonderful support … I know that not all of you who are following this are regular visitors to the Forkers thread, so I hope you don’t mind if I cut and paste here what I’ve just posted on there … Hello all … another busy morning but I feel so much better for the Respite Wonky provided. She is coming back tomorrow so I can have a good nights sleep before we go to the clinic on Wednesday.
He’s eaten a good breakfast, done some admin stuff together and he’s had phone calls with friends … now he’s having a doze.
Im trying to source a transit wheelchair to borrow for the clinic trip as the hospital says so many of theirs are ‘not returned’/stolen 😡 , however the local Red Cross say all the ones they have that are suitable for a 6ft 17 stone chap are already out on loan … they’re trying to retrieve one … But if we have to rely on finding one at the hospital then so be it.
We’ve come so far and beaten so many odds … we’ll manage somehow … 💪

It's beyond ridiculous that people don't return wheelchairs once they are no longer required. That is assuming that hospitals will actually accept them back. They wouldn't take back the crutches I had after knee surgery and don't want my sticks back either when I no longer have any use for them.
I thought it was the ones that they have at the hospital for people to use while attending appointments that @Dovefromabove said were being stolen/not returned.

Yes @JennyJ … apparently the thoughtless/lazy folk borrow them and take the patient to the car park and then leave the wheelchair in the carpark … that’s bad enough … but the more despicable ones load the wheelchair into their car boot and it’s never seen again 😡 … at least not by the hospital .., and most of the wheelchairs used for visiting patients are provided by charities anyway.
