I will be honest with you I am finding it hard, at this precise moment, to deal with the ups and downs of being a carer. Yes, I know it could be worse - I have a friend at work whose mum in a home with MND and she is not very well at all.
I have just come home from a brief night out at my boy friend's and had to put mum back to bed - see my other thread. I know I will feel tired in the morning but I had to post these threads.
We are constantly trying to move forward. First getting the diagnosis, then claiming Attendance Allowance, then getting carers in. Recently had to put a key safe in as mum locked herself out. Currently trying to get mum to go to day care. Have been to look at it and it looks ideal. Need to get mum to go on a visit but cannot do that until we can get transport sorted out. I won't even discuss what needs doing in the house, getting and LPA and a Will sorted, etc.
I was recently quite pleased with myself as my sleep pattern had started to get better and I was feeling really sunny. I have a feeling that is about to change.
Would welcome thoughts on dealing with the ups and downs.
