Hi Slugsta
I did think it would be bliss if mum would just go to the gossip club, but I don't want her to be miserable. Good thing I wasn't there to hear someone being rude to my mum, I might have had words it's amazing that such a small break has made such a difference to me, but she has to come first
Hmmmmm. I'm so cross with the Physio. He was so disinterested. I walked out to the waiting room to collect mum & she asked how it went. I guess he now knows, as I told her it was a waste of time & it was an hour of my life I couldn't get back
Thing is, I've seen a few Physio people over the years, they can really help, or they can make you feel like you are moaning about nothing. Just because I have to grit my teeth & get on with doing things, doesn't mean I'm moaning about nothing. I do have to hoover, drive & carry things, mum can't do it. It blooming hurts, but I carry on or mum will try & she will get hurt. I don't want to just pop the pills, I want it to get better, or at least manageable. Not much to ask for is it
I'm sorry your mum is "not right", but good it's not as you feared. I'm with you on managing discomfort & not prolonging life just because they can. Hope it's just the weather or something simple & she rallies round. It doesn't seem to matter what it is, we are always chasing, nagging & pushing to get our loved ones comfort. I wish the medics would do it without us having to throw tantrums . Hopefully your mums GP gets the balance you want
