How you keep your patience I really don't know! It's like finding your way through a fog. Your health is important to James and if you don't get proper rest, taking on the administration of his many needs which are probably accelerating day by day, will not benefit either of you. You have proved your love and devotion many times over. It may be better for you both if you can visit with cheer and understanding and leave the nursing care to others. Please take care of yourself Geraldine.
OMG Georgina this must be so maddening for you (and James). The system is truly broken. I’m dreading this time in my own future with my mum. No one understands what sheer hell we go through with the local authorities and dementia teams etc until they’ve walked in our shoes. My thoughts and prayers are with YOU!
I hope you’re keeping a cushion handy to scream into and that you have a plentiful supply of gin to hand!
