Hi All
It has happened.
Mum is being moved to the dementia ward of the local hospital tomorrow, because the care home cannot meet my parent's needs.
I am not blaming or finding fault with the care home, they have tried everything and have been wonderful
Although it wasn't unexpected, the phone call to-day, was still devastating, I have been in tears all day. Why? I don't know, but can't stop crying.
I have tried so hard to keep my parents together, but it seems that I may not have been doing either of them any good.
I dread what Mum will be like in hospital without Dad and it is anyone's guess how Dad will handle not having Mum there.
I have chickened out of taking Mum to hospital, the carer's from the home will take her. I will visit in the afternoon, if only to connect with staff.
Yet again, I am a wimp and can't face it.
I will keep you all posted re Mum and Dad,
Sad Alfjess
