hi all just wanted to tell you that we have arranged carers with a local private firm 24/7 for my sons Nan, this will start on 02/01/20, they have just started coming in three days and one night a week up to Christmas. To say I have found it hard to care for a PWD is an understatement, it’s incredibly hard, my husband and myself have done it for the last 3 months, my PWD is difficult and can get aggressive she is still waking us up at 4am to get her breakfast, I told her today we were not getting up at that time, she went down to have her cerial but came back up at 4.45 so I got up. We are both shattered, I have a number of serious health issues and my husband is nearly 70 himself. This is such a difficult illness with no 2 days the same, now she is insisting on going to bed at 4.30 in the afternoon I manage to keep her up until 6.45 but she was getting stroppy so off she went to bed. If I don’t post again I just wanted to thank you all for you help and support you will be in my prayers x
