Mothers carer!!

Not written for ages, life seems to just whizz by and befor you know it a month or so has passed by. Uncle really has been the priority this passed month, having had to put him into emergency respite because it was just too hard keeping him at home with mother.but after about 10 days in there he was admitted to hospital, so he's been in there for over 3 weeks now while they sorted out different problems. He celebrated his 90 th birthday in the hospital and the nurses where great with him,singing happy birthday and getting him a cake, he was thrilled and is convinced that this 'hotel' is marvellous!! But the sorting out of his care package has been a nightmare, because he was only in the nursing home as temporary that complicated matters! So lots of form filling and being passed from one social worker to another but hopefully he will be discharged on Monday, having just been informed the social services will take all his pension to cover the cost of the nursing home, leaving him with £22 measly quid a week...Shameful!! Mother has been just as demanding as always, but must say on the whole her tumour doesn't seem to be giving her much trouble at the mo. She has said she gets terrible pains behind her eyes a lot but she thinks with new glasses that will go!! I haven't the heart to tell her it's probably the BT. Think I'm due a call to her GP soon, it's always good to catch up with her and get her view in mother. Mothers ridiculous demands for buying stupid things hasn't waned much, she recently bought an ironing press off QVC, she doesn't do any ironing..I do it! She's also bought 3 winter coats and numerous pieces of crap jewelry, all from QVC, bloody nightmare! Apologies for no paragraphs etc, iPad doesn't do them!! I'm planning another day of running away soon, don't know where I'll go or if I take hubby but now and again it's just great to escape and do silly things. Or as hubby says: embarrass him!! Much love to you all. Mad Mandy.xxxx
