Hello everyone
thanks for your kind posts here!
Yesterday at the conference was manic - there was so much press interest, and that must be good! Friday it was the BBC at Jan's home, Monday it was the press conference, and ITN, and papers, news wires, etc. Yesterday, Channel 5, Daily Mail, Radio Berkshire [a live interview on air].
We can only hope that it all does some good.
For me, the high points were - obviously, being able to represent Jan - meeting Connie at the conference, meeting KenC from TP and his wife there, and finally, seeing Peter Ashley in action. Peter has dementia yet does a fantastic job of speaking and putting his messages across. He's a far better speaker than I am!
The point he made yesterday that will stick with me was the hell it is for him, having dementia. So often, those not caring for such a person at close quarters, may think "well, they don't really know, do they?". Peter made it clear that they do know, and very well too! Which is a bit of a horror to us as well, to have confirmed.
