Hello from a newbie!

Welcome lboggs
So glad you found us and decided to join
Healing Well has the best support and people in all forums............. but yes this is a good one for those dealing with Alzheimers ,looking after loved ones or friends with this disease......home care workers ect..
I looked after my mother til she passed away just over 9 mths ago and now look after my (step) dad :who for all intents and purposes is my father
I was a geriatric nurse for many many yrs and there is a couple others on here that were as well
I had to retire due to health issues myself and then did some work with seniors volunteering to get their groceries and lil odds and ends and keep them company...........
Mom went from a vibrant woman to a shell of herseslf in no time it seems and now my dad is doing the darn same thing
I wished I had joined here long before I did as I may have had more info and help dealing with some issues and being able to talk to those going thru what I was going thru ....

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2007

Hi Lyn,

Sorry but I have 4 music exams coming up this year (eeek!) and heaps of homework. Well the vet is coming tonight, I have until 9pm. I know her through her dad (who owns the pharmacy down the road from me) and my mum said that I might be able to do work experience (I want to be a vet when I'm older) at the RSPCA where she works. It would be fun but I don't know. I really should be posting on the depression one, but who knows. The girl next to me is insulting me because I don't show my "Depression" outwardly for my cat. I'm now spouting nonsense. Ah well, girls at my school are emotionally immature and about 1/200 of the would understand.

Cheerio
(Yes i am trying to be happy )

Hi Lyn,

Thanks you don't know what it means to know that someone is here ready to listen to me and my little woes. I'll probobly post tonight, I'm letting my sarcastic side come out which is my way to protect my feelings. Well, I might just lose myself into today and try not to think about anything, kinda hard when I have maths first! Well have to go to maths now . Post later

Hi,

Mum now wants to get an Egyptian cat. How nice I thought, But Jenny has only been gone about a month. Today in the supermarket my mum has gone "Lucky we have no cat, there's no meat". She can be soo crude sometimes. Parents.........can't live with or without them.
