We think that a lot of the illness was caused by her not having access to her strong (opioid) painkillers for a couple of days. Thankfully, we went to a medication review (she hadn't had one in years), and she's on a withdrawal programme. It's getting difficult with the pain, but she sees no other way to get off those tablets - and hopefully onto ones that are more suitable.</p><p>On a different note, I finally got a call back from her local borough council about the adult social services referral I made for her back on 3RD DECEMBER. Still, at least things look like they're moving a bit now, so hopefully she'll be able to get a better lifeline installed and they will add a grab rail in the loo. I think we should also ask if it's possible for them to make a new path at the front of the house, as it's very slippery when wet - but we'll see how long all of that takes first.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AdultSocialServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdultSocialServices</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BoroughCouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoroughCouncil</span></a></p>
