Sorry to hear about Gloria and her partner. That's such a shame. Hope your abscess is better now. Had to have a tooth out the day before my holiday, but at least the pain has gone. Lovely photo of you and your toyboy. Hope Gloria is improving again. xx
Another month has passed - where does the time go. American Grand-daughter graduated last month, and English Grand-daughter has started driving lessons, as she's now 17. She still visits every week, and is a great help with the gardening jobs that need 3 hands, and her company is lovely.
Gloria continues to lose weight, and starts her 6th chemo next week. For over a year she's been battling illness on so many fronts, and I spend as much time as I can with her. She is so brave and stoic, that I am full of admiration for her. Alas, she has lost her hearing, hair, feeling in her feet and strength in her voice - apparently side effects of her treatment.
Two different neighbours, who both have a spouse with early dementia, have called on me, at different times, to ask
my opinion about their spouses driving! I've said, as I always do, that I can only talk about
our case, and that as soon as I aware that John wasn't looking one way at junctions, let alone both, I took his keys away.
We've had some lovely weather, though I'm happiest when it's 70 - 73 degrees, with a breeze, than melting in the 90s! My 91 year old neighbour, who had AD, is now in a Home, and I wasn't surprised to see the droves of absent relatives descend on her place to clear it out.
How is everyone? I hope you're all well. Best wishes to you xxx
