As my namesake, Miss O'Hara said, at the end of Gone With The Wind. With over 40 pages in reply to my thread "Goodbye my love, John died today", and that was started 7 weeks ago tomorrow, I feel the time has come for me to move on.
I'm not going!!! Goodness, can you imagine me trying to shut up! It's just I want to be associated with a different heading now. I'm no longer someone who fulfils the criteria "I have a partner with dementia", but I hope I can still be of help to others.
If anyone ever has a problem that they don't want to post about, I'll always respond to PMs, whether I can offer advice, or only sympathy. As I've mentioned before, once I've had my foot op next week, and the required 4 - 6 weeks of recovery, I'm volunteering at the Citizens Advice Bureau, for help with form filling, or assistance with helping carers.
Mind you, it's now about 4 months since I completed that mammoth questionnaire for my LA, offering my services, and still haven't received the courtesy of a reply, and CAB might be the same. But I can offer.
