    bit of a nightmare at the minute has been for a month it started with having to wait eighteen hours in a&e next to a drunk foul mouth guy in one side cubicle and an old women screaming all night in the other side, then being moved to majors2 right under a speaker blast out request for wheelchairs etc etc porters for another twenty or so hours so me my sister and my eighty two year old mom sitting in chairs next to dad none stop for that time period .. then about ten o'clock at night the day after he came in .. they got him in a temp ward ..

    so we spent three days going in their seven hours a day , then he got moved as he had caught a chest infection so another week in that ward where he got moved again because he had caught c.diff which made him bed ridden .to another side ward for a week ,with us spending all day their each time.

    then I get a call saying he's coming home in four hours ..and had to manhandle their double bed down stairs on my own and strip the front room to turn it into a bed room . and rush around to get supplies . they would not let me go get him but was ferry home . and dump on my sofa still almost bed ridden .. then got messed about with meds and antibiotics had to spend about an hour chasing it up then took them three hours to final send meds .took them a week to send discharge paper posted (second post would you believe)

    so having to sleep on the sofa next room to be available to help him go the rest room and all that .. while trying to arrange district nurse. equipment, physio ..food .. so yeah now he's got a bad legs from a new tablet and needs more antibiotics.

    and now chasing doc for other meds final got a doc to home visit tomorrow or Thursday .. so yeah not great at all ... pretty shitty to be honest ...

    yeah it is just when the physio/nurse they give day but not time so you can be waiting around a lot ..

    but the special aid furniture is good mange to get like a hospital bed table as had to lose our table to set up the bed room in the dining room so now he can sit and eat better , plus some of the toilet aids are great too plus the bed raiser and support arm has helped a lot . that has made life bit easier plus the commode that can be adjustable raised via clips on the legs .make it easier at night too ..

    the sleep tabs a bit hit and miss though worked well the first night but the next time used was not as good result ..

    how come stair lifts are so expensive got a little curve at the top of the stairs and that doubles the price could have a nice used panerai for the price it costing to have one fitted

    or an omega chrono .... oh well needs must ..guess I will just have to build a pan-a-like instead

    I had no clue the cost, glad you can make it happen

    Panerai or Omega, which way would you go as a buyer? I have never tried either

    well had the funds as was going to sort the bathroom out to make it more age friendly (walk in shower etc etc ... so using that

    well like a pan radiomir but honest when I tried self build the lugs are annoying as they are separate each one screw in I believe well the case i had did .

    so suppose a reduce omega chronograph would be my choice maybe or an old omega pie pan maybe
