I managed a holiday to Kefalonia and had some wonderful massages while away in the sunshine. But a day after arriving home the stress with coping with my dad hit hard and fast.
I'm really struggling at the moment with the loss of my mum in December the day after my birthday. It's been really hard as my dad who has parkinson's is getting so much worse, he's having hallucinations, double vision. He phones me asking weird question and is obsessed with the clocks being wrong.
I'm still debating if I will have my 3rd Zolondronic infusion as my hips and pelvis cause a great deal of discomfort, especially when trying to sleep. It's like laying on a pebble beach, and just so hard to get comfortable at all.
Today I phone the Macmillan help line and had a nice chat, it has really helped me by getting things off my chest, chatting to someone who is there to support us all and not to judge. Thank you so very much for being there at the end of the phone. It's really helped me so much.
If others ever need to call them, please don't hesitate.
