Oh dear, I am feeling very emotional tonight.

I have spent quite a bit of time with my Mum over the past week and it has made me realise even more how much she means to me. She is such an incredible woman, I only wish I could be half the insperation she is.:o

I need to knuckle down and get this mortgage paid and stop messing around spending on unnecessary things. I need to be able to support her when the time comes that she needs more care.

She is funny, caring, frustrating, loving, batty and so many more things all rolled into one. She is the most diplomatic person yo could ever come across!! I think that comes from being one of 13 children!:eek:

I know this is stupid but I wish I could change her situation, soetimes life a !!!!!!, she has worked all her life caring for others, gets three years into retirement only to be told she has a progressive neurological disease that will eventually see her unable to care for herself:mad::mad::mad:.

I am painting a poor picture here, she is 8 years in from diagnosis and MOST of the time copes very well, better than me perhaps! Tonight I am feeling angry and selfish...why my mum, the woman who as soon as anyone meets they fall in love with her and her lovely sweet nature. the woman who would do anything to hold her family together.....................

Less wine, more sleep I think..........

Make the most of her whilst you can. My mum died at aged 54 when my daughter was 6 weeks old (Big C) xx

Thank you mummy, I'm so sorry about your mum, but you're right, I am lucky that i'm 38 and I still have my mum around, I will make the most of having her around, and I will tell her how much she means to me. Thank you for putting things in prospective:o

You're very lucky she is still in relatively good health TPA, concentrate on the positives rather than the negatives and have fun with her

Oh t!!s i'm such a silly moo!

Is it wrong to admit I was just really tempted to blow my teary nose in my over sized t shirt??

I am sorry about my self obsession, I need to remember how lucky I am.

• I have a wonderful mother who is luckily still with us:A
• My hubby is the best thing since sliced bread:D
• Hubby and I both have decent jobs that most of the time we enjoy
• I have a lovely home that it almost paid for (give or take 27k:rotfl:)
• I now have nice, reasonable neighbours:o
• I have some very good friends, especially on here, that know me well enough to kick my a££e when I'm feeling sorry for myself...(it takes true friends to do that and not just pander to you and I thank you for it)
• I have Lewis Lane - for those of you that don't know what I mean...where have you been????
• I have the most gorgeous kitty cat, who has been my constant companion for the past 10 years or so...she even approved of hubby when I bought him home for the first time:o:D... I know thats ad, but she has been with m through thick n thin.......

Thank you, thank you......

TPA I know exactly how you mean (although I love my mum dearly she drives me nuts sometimes) I couldnt be without her though....

My nanny is in the same place really. She has Alzeimers and vascular dementia and although she worked as a district nurse caing for the elderly we now find that she is unable to cope at home even with carers. She broke her pelvis abot 4 weeks ago and has been in hospital ever since and now has a place in a very nice local home. We now have the awful job of having to sell her home to pay for the care. Luckily its an SS home so when the money runs out they shouldnt turf her out on the street!

She brought me up from 11 years old and I hate seeing her disappear before she's gone, but I treasure the memories she gave me all of which are happy..... xx

I understand as well

My dad fell over last week coming back from the shops, luckily a passer by helped him and the decorator that did the hall drove past, recognised him, so stopped and took him home

Where he then sat (as he told everyone he was fine) covered in lots of tissues, soaked in blood till my mum came home 5 hours later

She and my Aunty took him to hospital, they patched him back together and are amazed he hasn't broken any bones in his face. So he has black eyes, hands grazed, and a knee that won't heal, as he won't keep of it

He is now so bored that he has started to wear rubber gloves to do the washing up. He is back at the Dr's tomorrow as his platlets (sp) are low and his cholestrol is too high at 6.1
