Hi all. I have not posted for a while as things for us have settled now. Ha ha that's a laugh I knew it wouldn't last. As some of you know my dad went into care home in January and has settled well. Mum on the other hand , complete nightmare! In April she was bringing him home, nothing good enough, care home a **** **** etc etc. After social services decided she could not meet his needs 24/7 she calmed down again. This week she starts again! She used to moan non stop about him sitting in a wheelchair as his legs were swollen and he was hunched over. Been in a special chair for a few weeks that elevates his legs and encourages him to sit up. But then she moaned it was too near window, chair been moved away from window, now she thinks he's sitting in "that bloody chair" all day and not getting bed rest in afternoon. That's without all the other stuff she's moaning about! Had my brother on the phone last night , she had called him crying, he was talking about moving him to another CH or getting him home!! I just don't know what to do anymore, my husband has told me to take a step back as I have done everything in my power to get my dad in the best place possible. Stress levels at a all time high , my eldest sister has been really poorly and had three blood transfusions in two weeks and last Wednesday my middle sisters partner took his own life!! I can't understand why mum is piling on more stress at such a dreadful time. I am 100% there for both my sisters going through so much. Sorry for such a long post, I am taking mum to see dad today & shopping .....and I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick!!
