Evening @Toony Oony
I’m definately on a high I’ve kicked butt & I’m still standing. Brother & I have gotten closer, I think he is the amazing one here. I can think of a few (@Margi29 ), whose brothers are running for the hills at dealing with their mothers nakedness
You have to be catheterised post op for a knee replacement??? I’m so not having mine done. Bleep that. It’s ok for Mum .... lol ... one rule for everyone else.
I don’t think I’m doing anything that special. I just couldn’t keep working full time, in a very stressful job, with loads of responsibilities & drive 160 miles every weekend .. it was literally killing me. I knew I was heading for a crash. Sooner or later I was going to fall asleep at the wheel. I looked at my options & this was the one I could live with No I did not think it wouId be this hard
I’m well chuffed (boy that’s an old fashioned expression), but I am, well chuffed that I’ve coped with puke without retching myself. That is amazing.
Everyone who I’ve read about here, has found this site because they care. Each & every person is amazing. I’ve learnt from you all. Seeing @rosy18 with her mum made me a better Carer. Reading made me fight & gave me the knowledge to do it.
If one good thing has come out of this, it’s the “hug bank”. I’m going to have to look into it as a reality one day, you all made it into a reality in my darkest scariest times. I dip into it when I feel low. I wallow in it when I’m screaming. You’ve held me up & I can’t put into words how much you have helped
Thank you for the hugs, Pooch is grateful too
