That is terrible. Why do they take so long to answer? And are you okay?
Yes I’m fine. I’m calling about my uncle. He is 75 years old. Has second stage dementia. He has a water build up on his feet and ankles. A nurse should have been out to measure him up for pressure stockings. And his water meds should have been sent out but they haven’t. Prescription was put in last week.

Here our doctors don’t give a damn. Will try and fob you off. Here is a pic of my uncles legs. Do they look “normal” to you? As according to the doctors his ankles are normal
His ankles might be normal but his feet are definitly not normal. They look like my feet were after I gave birth to my second son. And they were extremely uncomfortable to walk with. The top wobbled. It was horrible.

He can’t walk. He’s fallen twice. He had a stroke in 2018 which caused a bleed on the brain. He can’t use his right hand at all. He has a frame to help him get around but he can’t grip it. So I’m looking into other options aswell.

Oh shame, your poor uncle. I hope you come right with something fantastic that will help him be comfortable at least.
