My Terminal very frail parent , has over the past 2 months had great Difficulty in swallowing liquids .She was prescribed a thickener which has become a life line .Without fluids it has a further Catastrophic affect on all areas of health .Without detail this has happened to her.I requested the prescription to come alongside the Blister pack .I have had four weekends in which we have none , She cannot Drink .It has still to this day been treated by reception with a response as if I am a difficult Daughter .The last I will have to go I have people waiting .I cannot source elsewhere ,spoon feed 2000ml of liquid a day is impossible .This is a lifeline for us and I have explained this for two months .It is a labour of love Caring .I cannot access the chemist now and all will be closed over weekend .There is a high risk of dehydration ,she has medical issues that as often in a hospital fluids are vital Receptions Please dont be rude ,I have requested this in advance for two months and my parent is in danger without , Please pass on information correctly .I will now struggle all weekend and there is always a possibility of hospital admission .It was so important that we did not go through another weekend like this .It impacts District Nurses ,which it has done this week already ,It is very hard Fluids are vital.
