Good, Im glad she now has a diagnosis - thats another thing sorted. Dont forget to go and see your GP to get him to fill in the form for Council Tax exemption.
Dont worrry too much about possible scenarios in the future and everything about possible surgery. With dementia everything can change very quickly, so its impossible to plan too far in advance. Just see what happens at the appointment for your FIL and take it from there. You have to keep in the back of your mind possibilities, but go with what works at the moment. OK for now is a good dementia mantra
Thanks Canary. Yes, I've already started the process for council tax exemption. It's worth noting, for anyone else reading this, a 25% disregard applies if a resident in the house has a severe mental impairment. There are some exceptions to this rule. Best check with your local council.
You are absolutely right to say not to worry! My husband would smile if he saw you wrote this, as he always says I worry too much! I think there's a fine balance between being aware of, and prepared to respond to future scenarios, and over-thinking and over-worrying about it. I admit I do tend towards over-worrying, but that's my nature!
Anyway, I'm off for a well-earned weekend break with my husband shortly. We are going to York to visit our nephew and niece, both studying there. Also following our football team who are playing there on Saturday!
Hope you have a restful weekend as well. Thank you for your reply. xx
