things are changing

1 minute read time.

So went to spend the morning with mum and dad today it was so nice. Starting to see small changes now like dad gets major anxiety if he is going somewhere without mum which is so not like him he is usually a independent strong person, also confusion and forgetfulness if mum isn't with him my brother has to remember the pin number on dad's card and what account ect as dad forgets. We had to have a major chat today about someone always being in the house with dad just because the threat of seizures is always there. He didn't really like the idea but he thought we ment carers. When I explained it'll either be me or mum and my brother at this stage he was fine. I explained we won't bother him he  an continue doing whatever he likes. We just want some one to be there just in case.

So this is really the first part of my lifestyle being changed from this which will be different but on the upside I get more one on one with my daddy.

He has started getting some weird things happen I g like he could hear rain this morning and mum explained it wasn't raining  but he could hear rain.

And he has started getting a blue and white round light showing up in his eyesight just for a short second.

I am coping ok just finding everyday is a new challenge.

Hope you are OK to.

    Hi Vickii I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and now your mum I can't imagine how hard that will be while your still grieving your dad. I started to feel this was a lonely road and no one I spoke to understood so I needed to find somewhere to vent where people new how I felt and could say yes I totally get it. This has been an absolute blessing to have found this.

    I really hope your mums oncologist appointment goes well Vickii and there is treatment available. 

    Mail me anytime I've sent you a friend request
