Not a major issue, folks, but a sad situation. As you know, mum went into the care home in August. She made "friends" with a very odd lady, Netta, no-one understands why mum made friends with her, she was a very obnoxious person at time, very nasty towards my mum (and everyone else), but sometimes also very loving, but somehow a relationship was forged. Netta went into hospital a couple of time over the winter, for short spells, and mum missed her like mad, and was so glad to have her back "home". Then Netta went into hospital before Easter and didn't come back. She died last Sunday. Mum cried about it. Mum doesn't cry.
The funeral is on Monday and I have cancelled my lectures and tutorials in order to take mum to the funeral. I wouldn't do that normally, even for a family funeral, but I feel Netta's death is significant to mum. She was her friend, for whatever reason, in her new Care Home, her new home. So we are off the the funeral and ****** work.
Anyway, just telling you all. I suppose it is inevitable that people in care homes die. Just sad that it was mum's first friend, and she hasn't really made any other friends.
Bye for now
