Having a bad day

Hi,

Do you know, you and your sisterhood are just so amazing in what and how you are dealing with the loving and caring of your parents in spite of family, and all your posts invoke such a range of emotions including smiles at your scenarios but a hug at the same time at the situations you find yourselves in with your mums and dad, totally normal bodily functions take on a whole new prominence and focus in our lives don't they, almost waiting for a puff of white smoke to indicate success and laxatives can stand down for a day or so, hope your mum/s dad okay and you can all have some special time to yourselves.

Hi all,

Well the evening was ok, in between worrying about mum.  I was supposed to stay at my friends but ended up coming home about 11.30 as didn't want to be far away in case she needed me.  Of course she didn't need me but I felt better.  Cancelled my plans for today too as felt really down.  Didn't go to mum's though as brother there this afternoon and didn't want to let him off the hook.  I'm at mum's now. Saw my brother before he left.  He gave me a kiss and hug!  Feeling guilty perhaps?

Mum is quite perky.  The carers did her hair - looks nice.  The hospice have offered respite care tomorrow morning from 9 - 1.  It's my day and was going to refuse but I'm so tired.  I asked mum and she said it was ok.  She likes the carers, so that's good.  When they started coming they said that if mum is stable they would only come for two weeks and then have to hand over to other carers,as this is a pilot they are running.  Mum has definitely got worse over the last couple of weeks, even in the last few days, but hard to have it confirmed by the hospice.  It's been over two weeks and they are still coming, so they obviously think so too.

Jenny, I'm sorry that you've not been having a good few days - your poor mum and dad.  

Maisiemae, I'm glad you're not driving again.  It would be too much for you.

Sue, I hope you're ok.

Hugs to you all and to everyone else who reads our thread. X

Thats a good thing, both organisations are amazeballs. Mum cant get on with the mattress topper thing to prevent bedsires so ive just taken it off. You really do have the skittle tray. Ive just returned from the police station reporting mums neighbour harrasding her. MuM end of life but 22 year okd neighbour biatch complaining that a car blocked her drive and we shoukd know her boyfriend comes back at 430. Its noted on all care plans not to block the drive next door. She took a photo!!!!! For 30 mind mums lawyer was here. Mum doesnt know where lawyer parked as she is in bed dying.!!! Thought best to nip in bud (same girl who got the police to mums ehen she was mid chemo) about a car unrelated to anything here. I really  have never come across such a lazy, bigoted, biatch.... If she contacts mum again she will be warned its harrassment. Ive cried like a baby as i tried not to throttle her - what a waste of time with my mum x

Oh maisiemae, what a cow! What is the matter with some people?? As if you haven't got enough on your plate. At least you've got it sorted with the Police. What a bloody nightmare!
