I've not been on here for ages - I joined in October last year, introduced myself and disappeared . But my dear old mum has just been put through a distressing experience by me and my sister's and I feel terrible.
We have been in touch with social services again and they have assigned mum a new and fantastic worker. She is fab and has been in touch a lot recently. We are lucky enough to to have a dementia day care centre local to us and the worker took mum along one p.m with my older sister. Mum enjoyed it - which surprised us all as she is adamant that she doesn't want to go to a day centre. She went on Tuesday for the afternoon and was distressed the whole time Crying to go home etc. They dropped her off at 5pm and my sister went to see her and found her in the bathroom sobbing
She seems to be ok today. No one has mentioned it to her today and she's not either (hopefully it is forgotten)
So that is abandoned...... one positive thing is that we've found the times of our local carers group meeting and so me and my 2 sisters are going along ( not even asking our brothers but Hey ho!)
Thanks for reading! It's a good place to vent knowing those reading TOTALLY understand
