❤ Caught us all my friend and impossible to plan forI did calm down and we are all sorted now. It just sort of made me realise that neither of us was getting any younger. But little did we know what was ahead of us.

The ones that cause most distress are of starving children with flies landing on their faces as P gets upset that no one knocks them of or wipes the childs nose. She misses the whole reason for the advert and just sees child cruelty.Targeted adverts at mum's age group re. programme content watched can be summed up in two categories - charities and life insurance. The former don't just ask for pennies anymore, looking for anything up to £35!!! The latter... well mum likes the chap's chatter for the Sunlife one, for me personally you can bury me in a cardboard box when I'm gone haha All this preoccupation with death stuff can be quite depressing and amusing at the same time though; mum has faith (RC) - God, the afterlife and such but from my perspective as somebody with a background in the sciences (driven in part from the brain fog thingy as well) is hmm... no not really. Whatever works for you I suppose and apologies it's not my intent to cause offence as I support mum 100% regarding her spiritual welfare, fingers crossed 🤞 she deserves some form of eternal reward (not for a long time yet I hope)!

Don't apologise @jennifer1967, I did bring the topic up after all! I've seen that one too and totally understandable.the water one gets me
sorry @Eddcorner got a bit side track
I'm one of life's cynics and knowing that these adverts are designed to generate a sympathetic response... Still heartbreaking, however I just don't like the way they target certain groups of viewers to generate money 🤔The ones that cause most distress are of starving children with flies landing on their faces as P gets upset that no one knocks them of or wipes the childs nose.

She would indeed haha Mum warned me early post-diagnosis that I would encounter problems with this individual and didn't want them involved... However mid journey and following a serious illness (mum) I reached out believing it was the right thing to do, should have listened!! All mum's predictions (and there were many) came true but it is what it is @sdmhred, such is life my friend ✌So sorry @Eddcorner - I bet your mum would have a thing or two to say!
yes your mum is doing well. maybe because you were a practitioner, you might be over thinking things sometimes.Reflecting on yesterday's post 🤔
Apart from the brain fog and RA mum is doing exceptionally well for a woman touching nigh on eighty years of age; yes she's had past health issues/crises where clinicians have effectively written her off as someone with the former but has bounced back from each episode stronger than ever... Many of her contemporaries (diagnosed much later) are either in nursing homes with a multitude of health concerns or have passed on. So mum is walking, talking and breathing, is as sharp as a pin and still drives me loopy from time to time - in retrospect she's not doing that bad then eh?
Message to self: stop complaining haha
I get that from mum always dissecting, always seeking solutions... such a unique mind! Most of my textbook stuff did go out the window at the outset though, I learnt double quick that it's a very personal journey with no preset answers regardless of what you're taught. Hmm and when I think of the many older people's wards, homes etc that I covered whilst still practicing both as a student and a qualified member of staff - shame on me just didn't have the knack back then.yes your mum is doing well. maybe because you were a practitioner, you might be over thinking things sometimes.
your mum sounds like my kind of woman!!! christmas shelter sponsor a room is quite high too. it used to be a voluntary amountAdverts for two separate charities this evening, get this asking for preferred donations of £32 and £39!! I've banged on about this before (right moaning-minnie me) but come on guys - really?
On a lighter note 😄 mum is taking great enjoyment from getting me to stand up every time I'm at the point of sitting down, this is even after I've asked whether she's sure there's nothing else for me to do! Very sharp, very sharp indeed 👏👏👏
I like this aspect of mum's personality albeit it's a little bit tiring haha - up/down/round and around/this way/that way... I'd be a bit worried if this side of her disappeared altogether however. Hmm and still no tips @jennifer1967!!!your mum sounds like my kind of woman!!! christmas shelter sponsor a room is quite high too. it used to be a voluntary amount
