I will apologise up front, I am having a 'poor me' moment. Does anyone else find that once stabilised and receiving appropriate care, in my OH case a Nursing Home environment that friends and even some family have endless reason's for not visiting. I say reason's and not excuses because that is unkind. We have one set of friends that have dropped us both completely because they think I have 'put him in a home', but in some ways I would rather that than 'I don't like to see him like that' or 'I don't like those places' or 'he doesn't know me' or visiting doesn't fit with my work'. For those of them who might be remotely interested, I don't like seeing him like that., I don't enjoy the NH environment, occasionally he doesn't know me and I work. I go because I love him because I need to know and see he is safe and because he is a big part of my life and actually we do laugh sometimes because, having no filter he is very cheeky and sometimes the alternative would be to cry and that really doesn't help.
Ran't over. Love TP as somewhere to get great advice and sometimes, like today, to say all the things I am to polite (well most of the time) to say to the people who need to hear it
Thank you for listening guys.
