Thanks for all your replys. The only thing that is bad at the moment is that the home have recommended we don't visit untill they think that mum has settled down enough. It's really tough, although we know it's for the best. Mum's home is just at the bottom of our road and it feels very strange to drive past knowing she's in there but I can't go in to give her a hug.
I know it won't be long but still, it's a very odd feeling. Someone asked how old my mum is. She's relatively young, her 75th birthday is at the end of this month. With her being so physically fit and her hair coloured, she looks like a teenager in there!!! Will post soon with more news. sazzle
