Thank you for replying. I value all the support from TP. Yes it is very difficult and in my opinion we have to be realistic to accept that there comes a time when the person with Alzh needs more care and support than any one person can give. My brain is logical but my heart is in bits.
My OH is having lots of reviews and changes in medication so all up in a heap now.
Regardless of what extended family or local nosey people think or say, I have to get him the best possible care now and in the best possible place. I have to honour his trust in me when he signed POW to me years ago.
If We succeed in getting long term care, I will continue to support and care for him. When I visit will depend on what is best for him and for me. The place I hope he gets into are excellent regarding medical care, practical care, personal care etc. The food is excellent and snacks available 24/7. The ethos is a caring friendly and highly professional. They encourage activities but don't force them as they see every person as an individual.
I must confess I have become intolerant of the opinion of many people and I now give little information to anyone anymore!! TP is my constant.
To be honest, I still feel so angry about lack of support and friends becoming invisible!! This too will pass.......
Thanks a million,
Aisling xxxxx
Sorry [emoji52] you are having a hard time!
It's hard when "friends" disappears.....
Me too have had that experience, I get it I'm a boring old ..... all I talk about is my parents in law, but WHAT else can I talk about?
For the past few months it has been my life. I can't let my hair down, have some fun & relax because I have no idea what's going to happen.....
I have NEVER treated anyone the way I have been treated. But like you, I now keep myself to myself, better off in my on company in the woods with the trees & squirrels.....
You are doing a grand job and clearly are so committed to find the best possible place. I sincerely hope you find it very soon!
To be honest I had given up all hope and then the week I said no I can't do it, everything falls in to place....
Sending you hugs [emoji847] and do make sure to look after you!
