We’ve had the same Carer for several days, with 2 “new” ones today, only new as in they’ve not been since Mum had such a downturn. Despite my spiel of not pushing her to eat etc, both took upon themselves to talk of food & the need to eat
Mum has asked for food, played with it & then pushed it away. She managed a banana, maybe a bit of chicken with 2 chips & a few strawberries. It was plain to me that she didn’t
want to eat, but felt she
should I do so hate well meaning people.
Our routine is obviously very disrupted. Whereas I used to clean up & tidy away after Mum went to bed, I now have to leave it till I get up, as I need to be with her. I feel a right slob
I worked out, I am “on duty” for 20 hours straight. I am trying to cat nap when I can during the day, but it’s just not enough. I’m getting a
bit crotchety
Mum seems a bit brighter today, until she tries to walk, eat, move, then her frailty is a slap in the face.
Oh well. I’m off to rubbish TV & a cat nap while brother sleeps so he can take over in a few hours.
