Hi Amanda. It was a pleasure to hear your storey, and although very distressing for you, made me realise that there are lots of other people suffering with the same illness.
I have looked after my husband , who has dementia for nine years. Over the past 2months he has become doubly incontinent. I have had to buy the incontinent pads myself ( he often goes through at least a pack a day. Waiting for an incontinence nurse to visit is very frustrating. I finally got an appointment, but the day before the appointment my husband was admitted to hospital, and I had to cancel it. I have now got to wait until another appointment becomes available.
The system seems to be going down the pan (excuse the pun)
