Emergency ambulance came last night for my neighbour.

I have talked about this neighbour several times before. He lives with his son opposite my Mom. We have been family friends for 50 years. Sadly, Charles, is well into his 90’s and has dementia. He is now bedridden. His son, who is in his 60’s has lived with him all his life and has been his carer for several years. His Mom died about 5 years ago. Charles has carers going in three times a day, but they never stay long and their work is basic. Anyway, last evening around 8pm the ambulance arrived and we could see that the paramedics were busy in the front bedroom, as they had the lights on but not drawn the curtains. They stayed almost an hour but didn’t take Charles to hospital. Unfortunately this is a sight which I think is going to become the norm pretty soon. Such a sad situation for someone who was such an active man.
