Hi All
Back from a much needed holiday, picked up mum today from respite. It was really emotional as she cried, we cried, we were so pleased to see her and she us. She couldnt wait to say goodbye to all her new friends but she has enjoyed it. We had a fantastic holiday. Just a shame the rest of the family are now using mum settling into respite as a reason for putting her into a nursing home permanently. Why can't they just see that we will decide when we can't cope no more and leave us alone.
On a brighter note, the dog is much better and back to his old self, we know he has a tumour on his kidney so won't be with us forever but the key is one day at a time.
Met a gent from scotland on holiday and his dad is just showing the very early stages of Alzheimers and his sisters are burying their heads in the sand and saying its just old age, gave him all the advice i could and pointed him in this direction.
