Another visit to mum today. She seemed very smiley and quite bright, but I didn't have a clue what she was saying. She also thought the carer was her daughter when she was trying to explain that I was. After about ten minutes she headed off down the corridor and I followed in pursuit. She is very bent over now and just shuffles, though still not using a stick. The carers say she walks up and down all the time. Her hair has been cut and looks good, but her nails were in a bit of a state. I flagged this up to the carer but apparently mum isn't keen on people trying to sort them out. I'd have a go next time, but manicuring and I are complete strangers to each other. I keep my nails as short as possible and apart from the odd bit of hand cream don't do anything else. I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
I also told the home I'm moving - yes we've finally exchanged on this place. Probate still not quite sorted at the other end, but there are hopes it will be by the 25th May when we move. At least we've been told we can move our stuff in, so I guess we can have an ad-hoc holiday while we wait. My plan is to pop down once a month to see mum, and think of moving her near us maybe early next year.
In other news my brother seems to be still on the mend though he hasn't been over to see mum yet.
