Hi as many of you know who have read my other posts mum is in a care home and I work abroad. For no other reason than I am currently funding the £1100 a week until the POA is through I have to keep my job. Today mum managed to sneak into a room where there was a phone and she rang my mobile and the distress, crying and screaming to take her home was unbearable. I rang the home who were so upset that she had got into the room - but otherwise unconcerned. Mum - no recollection - of course. But what stays resounding around my head is her distress and anxiety and tears. There is nothing I could do or say. My heart aches at this and I have to smile and carry on for work. I wish she would settle but the home report she is deteriorating and has no memory from day to day so each day is a new confusion about where she is. So so so sad tonight ....Just came on here as know many of you understand what this is like x
