Took my mum out to the theatre and for tea yesterday. Whilst there she surprised me by saying that she would like to stay at the care home permanently. She said she thought it was for the best. I'm sure it was a lucid moment. She doesn't really understand that she is there permanently anyway but I feel it's a massive turning point. She has settled pretty well now. She even said she has made some lovely friends there. I just hope that her saying that is something she retains as that decision is bound to make her more content.
