Cheers!
It's been an eventful week, a visit to the CAB for help filling in forms and they told me I need medical evidence of mums care needs through the night. Mum is in denial which makes that difficult. Went to her doctors, he has arranged for someone to come and take blood for tests, if they are okay he will send out the mental health team, so far so good. Or maybe not, doc says they will tell mum who they are and why they are seeing her. That is when the poop may hit the fan and, of course, I will be covered in it, hence my need for alcohol this evening. Only kidding, I always have a drink on a Saturday night to kid myself weekends are different from every other day.
Right now I'm on my third glass of wine, what the hell, it is Saturday night and I've nowhere else to go, well I have but I can't.Hellish day yesterday, all triggered by the unfortunate cold water in shower episode in the morning.
Mum tried to get out of the house (front door securely locked), went walkabout in the garden (no way out), sat and shouted and glowered and grumped in her coat most of the day, threw her walking frame at me, wanted to call the police and her solicitor to tell them about the awful conditions she's having to live out her miserable life in.
I made her sandwiches for lunch which she turned down (but silently ate when I wasn't looking).
Then around dinner time she sort of thawed and is fine again this morning (no shower).
Today's her 80th birthday. She doesn't remember so I've taken her to day care - I so need a few hours off - and we'll "do" her birthday when I've brought her home later.
I'm tired, feel as if I've gone through an emotional wringer. My consumption of alcohol is seriously out of control
