FIRSTLY THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T 'KNOW' ME ...
I'VE GOT T - H - E MOST UNSUPPORTIVE IN LAWS THAN A PERSON COULD HAVE.
THEY ARE ALL IN COMPLETE DENIAL REGARDING MID AND THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE FACING.
EVEN HAVING SEEN CONSULTANTS LETTERS ETC... DON'T BELIEVE IT !!
Dear All,
Don't laugh....
I had a call from my MIL last night (when I was relaxing enjoying my FIRST respite in TWO years)..
She's been thinking ... 'Oh heck' I said to myself ....
She's been out to lunch with a SIL and they had 'been talking'.
This is ALWAYS a bad ' idea' as they always come up with a 'bright plan' (NOT),
THEY think that my husband 'is the way he is' because he sits and watches too much TV.... !!
We are some what restricted in what we can 'actually' do because of his mobility problems from his MULTIPLE strokes .. etc....
Can 'manage' chair to bathroom (by self at present)
chair to kitchen for meals... etc ... etc...
The BIG PLAN of 'theirs' is to get ME to look into some kind of 'courses' for him to attend at college !!
This is a man who when he answers the phone.... and I say "who was that?", he says "who was what ? .... you answered the phone !!"
He scored really low on his MMSE ....
is NOT aware it is SUMMER, and wants to dress like it is WINTER , and has asked me OVER and OVER again to get salt for our steps before the frost sets in !!
Does not always remember his phone no... and address. Does not know the day, date, month and year ....
Could not direct traffic in a straight line !!
Shall I go on....
Now then, what kind of courses are 'available' for people like my husband?
You can be humerous in you're replies... I'm not easily offended....
Thanks for listening.
