I was diagnosed with Alzheimers after being seen at Sheffield Hospital. When I was discharged from Sheffield I didn't know what would happen, did I just wait to die because I knew there was no cure?
We were given a council bungalow and it made my life so much better.
I didn't know that the wheel had been set in motion to get help.
I cannot believe how wonderful the different services have been, I didn't know about all the services available but they have all been brilliant. I couldn't have thought possible to get so much help.
Everyone has been so kind and such lovely people.
I do find it is so much easier to see people at home rather than phone calls. I don't get out very often and somehow I don't think my friends and family really understand how I am feeling or how to talk to me. No one asks how I am feeling, it makes me think they don't want to know so it is lovely when anyone from the care services come.
I have so much praise for the staff who have been so wonderful to me, God bless them, I just hope they realise how much they mean to me.
