The fall took it out of Dad today and he spent the whole day asleep. I tried all sorts to wake him up, but...no joy. I even played the recorder and got him to sing - he is musical - but he could not stay awake. He is now tucked up in bed listening to classical music on the radio. I have taken the inflatable pressure relieving mattress off his bed, as I think that is why he slipped. The bottom mattress serves the same purpose anyway. Sorry to hear your Mum was so shaken up when she fell.It's such a heart stopping moment. Dad is very matter of fact about it and usually says - what a ridiculous thing to do!
I'm glad to hear that you watch Emmerdale too. I'm a bit behind as I tape it and watch when I can.
Re the Christmas puds - brandy or maybe Baileys with milk or cream ? I reckon it will be lovely whichever you choose and will make Christmas really festive for your Mum. If a little bit of alcohol is ok, then how about a drop of mulled wine or cider for the mincemeat? Or even alcohol free wine, mulled. Practice sounds like fun!
I have got the steamer boxed up down here and am planning to give it to my OH for his birthday in April. It corresponds with the plan that I have in place with the family to hand over the caring role to my brother ( in April). I'll have been here for 4 years, living away from OH while brother works, so even though it is going to be so hard to leave Dad.......I feel I need to get back to work while the moment is still right. I'll be coming back once a month for my brother's respite. I'm excited, but dreading it at the same time.
