Another day!! We live with mum and have done always. My dad died when i was 20 and single. As mum has always suffered from her nerves i stayed even after we got married. Now mum has alzheimers and we cant afford to put her in a care home without losing a roof over our heads. She goes to day care 3 times a week and respite every 3 months or so. She expects someone to sit with her ALL the time, if shes alone for the shortest time ( if i go and see to the dinner) she starts shouting!!. Usually shes awake at 4 or 5 in the morning but for the last few nights she hasnt shouted and has stayed in bed til about 9oc. Hey this is great i thought, but this morning it suddenly dawned on me that she mite b losing her ability to shout!! Oh dear not good at all, just another step in the wrong direction. Feel as if i lost mum a long time ago but this hurts all over again. Sad
