OMG my eldest sister would not allow Mum to go into care. She went in for 10 days respite after a fall a while ago and even though she had the best room in the home she complained all week. But I have told my sister that if sh objects then move home and care for her yourself. Cleaner lady is away next week and oldest sis is home so we will formulate a plan. Interestingly last cooked meal from scratch Mum had was last Sunday and next is tonight that I am cooking. So i cant be that bad. Might talk to Mum today and remind her they will shave the side of her head and its not long before the wedding so maybe we should postpone. That would give time to all discuss it in more detail with Mum and see a way forward. I think for very little gain she will suffer for weeks and maybe have potential ongoing health problems. Just going to market with my DD before she goes to work. Thanks
Rose my mum went into her current care come because she was really unable to properly care for herself anymore. I have two brothers and no sisters so to be honest it was left up to me to care for her. I have had a year from hell. I live 120 miles away from my mum and was having to leave DH here on his own so that I could live with mum and care for her. I won't go into the details but not only was I doing everything for her but also her mind went and she was seeing things and hearing things and insisting it was all real. I was sleeping on a camp bed next to her (not that I got much sleep she was calling me most of the night). In the end I got to the point where I said to my brothers that I couldn't take any more and she went into the care home for two weeks to give me a break. She got settled in and when it was time for her to leave she said she wanted to stay. She has friends in there and is happier in herself. I am sorry that you have all this to deal with I know how you must be feeling. Let your sister do her share as you have done yours.....xxBefore you assume, learn the facts,
Before you judge, understand why,
Before you hurt someone, feel,
Before you speak, think.0 -
