It is really depressing to think that this is going on. My family are all worried about my gran at the moment. She is blind, cannot walk unaided and has to have oxygen on had at all times and has problems with her liver. At the moment, my grandad (not in the best of health himself) is caring for her along with help from neighbours and social services. They live a long way from us and so it is not easy to pop over and check on them everyday, although we all phone all the time and we do try to get down there as often as we can. It is just worrying to think that if anything happens to my Grandad, my Gran may well have to go into a care home, as both my parents and aunt and uncle work full time, my aunt and uncle have two kids and none of us would be able to cope with the amount of care she would need, which is a shame as I really do not want her to end up in a home, especially when something like this can so easily happen. It always amazes me why some people go into "caring" if they seem not to care about people.
