Perhaps if she rang the CAB. they may know of some one or vollentry organisation who could do it for her. Or contact Errol The Sheep he seems to thrive on grass. :-D |

She needs to ask her GP to refer her to Social Services for help. Not necessarily Home Care, but other assistance. |

Thankyou DET and Pat, I was just off googling what is available in her area, quite a lot at first glance including gardening. I will have to go up I think and try and persuade her to let me organise something. |

Perhaps if its possible for her to meet the people who would help her and set her mind at rest. Hope all works out well.**M**. |

As someone who is old, alone, and not in good health, I have a small bit of sympathy with your friend, but only a small bit. The rest is for you, Rose, as I think you have been helping her in every way. possible in the last two years and she still doesn't seem to be coping. Did her husband always 'deal with things' ie writing cheques, paying bills etc? She probably misses him a lot and is foundering. I don't know what to suggest and the words 'get a grip lady' and 'pull yourself together' certainly did not leave my mouth :-D |

LOL BC I have bitten my tongue 'a few' times to stop the words "pull yourself together" from slipping out, I know my mum, who was her friend for 40 odd years, would have let it slip by now, she was always very kind but slightly more impatient than me ( which is saying something lol). |

Hello Dave :-) It's not my mum, it's one of her old friends. |

I'm just wondering if the doctors are as useless as they seem Rose? Could it be that your friend isn't taking the advice and support they offer - it does rather sound as though she has a stubborn streak. |

Get her to contact age concern, they will arrange someone to do her garden. |

Cynthia, the surgery is just across the road from her, and she has been there a lot over the years with OH so they know her, and that I think is the problem in a way as they are not looking past her bp for an answer. |
