Evening Lou, nice to hear from you. Good to see your mum is still enjoying her days out in the car between rest days. Sorry, was going to catch up, but too tired after a long day at hospital, C had an angina attack. Will say hello properly tomorrow.

Hi Rob, all well here. Mum is erratic with the thermostat. Turned right down at night. Rarely turned up in the morning (the carers & I turn it to a suitable temperature) yesterday we were late visiting (6pm rather than 5pm) it was turned to 30c!Morning Lou, thanks for asking about C.

Hi Rob,How is everybody
Did you get out at the weekend Lou?
Are you and Chaos getting out to see the autumn colours Gill?
How's your mum settling with her new central heating Jenny?
We are very busy, even managed to get C playing table tennis with her grandson for a few minutes on Sunday. I've posted a wee snapshot from the Chew valley to brighten up the thread.
Hope all is as well as it can be for you all.
Thanks Rob.Sorry for your loss, Jenny. Is your mum aware of her sister passing away.
Condolences and strength to you and your family in your crisis.
Thanks Rob.
Mum does remember.
My aunt was my second mum. My cousin & I are only children. Our mums shared childcare in the 60's. We are so close
Thank you, Rob! You have no idea how much that helps. I feel bad that I haven't been around for you guys xxxWell done for holding it together and for making sure your mum got the support she needed, Jenny. Have a big glass of wine on me and off load all you need, we are here to read and support.
Thank you, Amy. I appreciate it. My aunt was my second mum. I have lived through her decline & I am now doing it with my own mum. Bit tired xxxJenny, I don't normally post here, but have just caught up. Please accept my belated condolences on the loss of your aunt.
It can be so distressing to see the decline. We know how that feels.
I'm so sorry.
it is hard to do ones back to back or together.
Dad had it for 3.5 years starting with MCI and now Mom is copying dad's behaviour problems. Dad used to slap himself in the face likely due to his mom used to hit her head against the wall to control her family.. Mom was upset when he was doing it to her but she learned from him and is now doing it to me... sigh.
Jknight, condolences on the passing of your aunt.. Even thought the only sure things in life are death and taxes, my heart goes out for you.
Oh Jenny , I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt . Aunts are precious beings and if she was anything like mine was , she would have been so special . I'm so sorry I haven't been on the forum for a while , as I have been caught up with some things but I would have liked to have sent my condolences and gave you my support. I hope your mum is doing as well as she can ? My own mum hasn't been so well but feeling better now . You take care and I promise to keep in touch . Keep your chin up and take care . Lou xxThank you Mary H. It is rubbish! I lost dad to cancer 4 years ago. 6 months later mum exhibited the first signs of memory loss. Now I am losing her. My aunt was my second mum. Dementia has taken her.
It's a rubbish time. No holiday for five years (mum isn't happy if we aren't around - no siblings) We are tired & mum doesn't live with us! Worked tirelessly (& successfully) to keep her in her own home. Need a break xxx
