We are all done with summer, things have been happening, today we went off to see the students mum for her 101st birthday last week.
Ralphie, who has just taken over management of the house I first worked at back in the 80's when we were moving people with learning disabilities out of hospital wanted us to pop in today.
Interesting experience, the hole in the floor lift gone. The gas fire gone, place was like a garage with a big lift hoist and my mate the Robe being hoisted round everywhere. The jury is out for me asking if this is progress. I used to cradle lift him or chuck him over my shoulder to take him places where he would hear great bands and have a good time. By heck did he ever love that life.
The staff seemed really good but they operated under some sort of mad regime, he needed lifting in his seat a bit, I said i would do it and got told i would be "arrested" if i did. They had to use the crane.
I am pretty sure that that's just cobblers but anyway, i was bemused
He was very distressed by people, screamed a lot, we had a couple of minutes together and I think we reconnected - he has a right to be angry with me as I have not kept in touch enough.
The other resident there was down the pub as he always liked to be and he was delighted to see the student. The member of staff was telling her all about how humans rights have to be respected. Now, that's all very well, in our day we often didn't respect peoples right to say no, we did judgement calls and postulated that their rights to say no were based on not having informed consent and that they might actually enjoy going to the places they said they didn't want to go to.
If they said they didn't want to go there again then it was informed consent.
The maze this lot blunder through is really odd.
Because all the stuff about community life and involvement is gone.
This is what some stupid person somewhere has decided with no connection with ethics or values or anything.
They are prisoners in their homes.
If I was my friend Robe I would scream a lot too.
Contrast, leave there and went to Lils house.
101 and defying her families wish for her to peg it.
The student was sharing her family research - between the two of them they had all sorts of stuff.
This old lady 101 years old saying; that's right and adding detail the the students research
Lil at 101 was firing on all four cylinders - good on her

Rules and regs have gone crazy- covering their backs first, caring second
