Hope everyone here is OK. Lavender - sounds like some good news for you, hope it continues to be better news all the time.
I've had a splitting headache the last few days and yesterday felt sick with it. I was starting to get a bit worried last night, but it's a bit better today. I had a pain in my face again too, so guess maybe sinus related. Really debilitating, a headache like that, horrid. At one point I was actually sitting on the sofa, looking at mum in her armchair, and thinking that physically, she's possibly in better condition than me right now! Last Thursday the carer told me she was up and down the stairs 7 times when I was out - she said it's amazing a 91 year old has so much energy. You're telling me! She's still calm most of the time, but getting more and more confused, just stringing things together, but they don't really make sense. Her hearing is getting worse too, so that doesn't help. She's not deaf, just doesn't seem to clearly hear me sometimes.
I was thinking of calling SS and seeing if they could find somewhere for her in October so that I can go on my walking holiday that's been booked for ages, but wonder if they would let me cancel the request later, if I change my mind? I just have this awful thought that I've been doing this for nearly two years, I put her in somewhere for two weeks, she gets so confused/anxious/agitated, has a fall, that leads to her demise, then what was the 2 years of effort for? The counsellor told me none of this is my fault. I know that, but still ....
