Thank you worried girl for thinking of me. I have been on the sidelines lately, not really feeling like posting right now. I am a little confused now as to where I should be posting. am I right to say if I want to vent about
my mum or how things are I have to do it in the caregivers thread, is that right Connie? if I want some advice on her medical condition do I post normally.
I can understand why this thread was made, there is a lot on this site that I do not understand, I tend to stick to the threads where I understand as I would hate to post or offer any advice on some issues that I am unsure about
. I am sure that is the case for us all. Everyone has their own issues to deal with that is why I liked it here, I could vent without being judged to people who did not know you, do not judge you but know exactly what you are going through. My opinion is that each of us need help in our own way and it is unfair to dismiss anyone else.
again thank you for asking about
me, Connie is right, I am having a lot of trouble at home with my daughter, so my mums problems have taken a back seat.she is still in hospital, results have came back and she has suffered some brain damage which they say have effected her cognitive skills and her capabilities of looking after herself. There is another meeting tomorrow, she is in great pain crying a lot with the pain in her upper leg, its so bad she can only walks with a zimmer, her balance is bad. She has even been put back in the wheelchair because walking is too much for her.
I am not sure what is to happen tomorrow she has been there now for over 7 weeks.
my husband is going with me to the meeting for support, I have been rather overwhelmed at previous meetings as there is about
seven people in the room. I have been assured that she is in the best place, there are long term inpatients with korsakoffs in here, so I will have to wait and see what they say.
I know in my heart it would be the best thing to happen, when I look back at old posts and what I have been through, what she has been through I do not want things to go like that again. I am being selfish saying maybe if she was safe and settled somewhere I could get on with my life. But if she goes into care, it will not be easy doing all the legal stuff. I am so not looking forward to it.
I will post and let you know how I get on at the meeting.
Thanks again
connie i have just read the caregivers thread post by pink grandma I am now clear where to post now. Sorry did not know you had changed things
