My husband had a fall last week whilst we were down in Dorset for a few days break . He suffered a hip fracture and had an operation to repair the hip the next day at A hospital down there .
I finished the holiday in the accommodation we had booked on my own but visited him every day
I then went back up north where we live and 3 days later went back down there , staying 3 days in a hotel in my own and again I visited him every day
As it stands we don’t know when he will be discharged from that hospital nor where he will be sent to , either another hospital , a care home or home
At the moment I don’t think he is fit to come home but I can’t keep going down there as the journey is long and bad on my own
I am worried that , if this drags on , he will go down with depression as he won’t have visitors
Has anybody had a situation like this to cope with ? Can he self discharge if it drags on too much ?
But if you do that , do you still have access to nhs services ?
Hope someone out there can help
Thank you
