Hi Everyone,
The Meeting went really well, everything that I knew already and I feel supported by the fact that everyone says I am making the right decision re EMI home. This brings me on to the second bit of 'good' news.
My mother is having her pre-assessment for the home tomorrow pm and the Home have told me that subject to the assessment she has a room. Alleluia....
Question:- Went to see her this pm and stayed about 1 hour. I went with her brother - it is the 1st time he has seen her since she has been in hospital. He is behind me 100 percent. I got home and a friend (Spanish) asked me how things were. Stupidly, in retrospect I said that her brother was surprised that I had been able to continue as I had. Response from friend, more or less, poor you nothing, poor your mother.Why do you only spend an hour there. Of course I am sorry for my mother, of course I would rather she wasn't in this situation. Mentally I can't cope much more. Have you had experience of this sort of thing? How do I respond?
Entry into Home will only be the start of a new battle I fear but, at least I have cleared the first hurdle!
Thanks for all your support
Judy
