Ok here, just my mum's having a rough trot. Nothing life threatening, just some possible delusional sense of smell, and paranoia stuff going on for her in her house, which is distressing her, and distressing me because it's distressing her. As i said to a concerned Frog earlier, i feel like superman when exposed to yer kryptonite style, in this situation. Anyway, there is family support, and at last mum has booked an appt with her GP for a chat and s full check up on thursday, at my insistence. That might rule out any physical stuff going on that could be contributing to some of what she's imagining. However, this is real to her, and we're getting a full check of all the electricals/gas/air con systems etc. to make sure all's well there. Anyway, i won't waffle on, and i'm not moaning, as i know many of you have/are going through far more difficult stuff with your families.
In the words of Elvis impersonater Elvis to the Max, 'Thank you very much' .
Have a great night everyone.
You are a lovely son XXX

Hi Saucy and Bridge,
I got to admit, i find this stuff emotionally hard territory. But deal with it i will. It's just life happening.
How are you both tonight?

You know this stuff is difficult with our parents on a few levels. It brings into focus their age, but also ours....y'know ? Can be a tad uncomfortable, this whole mortality thing
If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

Morning all,
Joy-germ. What a perfect name for Mr.G!
Reggie - I think the Russian granny could do with a bit of a tune ...
Lovely to see the Ovaries popping in.
It's pissing down here so expect domestic duties will prevail. Not too thrilled about that.
Have a good day, all to come.Comment

And so are you Mr G!! No advice from me except to say that I totally understand where you are coming from. It is very hard to see our parents moving into an age where their health becomes more difficult for them to manage. There are so many dilemmas - the main one with my own Mum was that she wanted to remain living independently, but she was literally unable to look after herself safely any more. And the messages from the official health care system were a little mixed - with Drs telling me she "needed" to be in care, social workers telling me she "needed" to stay at home, and the only services available didn't actually meet her needs! I'm very pleased that she made her own decisions, and eventually decided to move to the Rest Home, and she is very happy with where she is, but I spent a good 18 months stressing about whether I should be doing more, or something less or something different or more of the same or ..........byebyebridgetjones;1101323 wrote: You are a lovely son XXX

You are right on both counts Bridge!!!

Anyway, Mr G .... you just trust your instincts with your Mum. You and your family know her much better than anyone else, but more importantly understand her, and are in the best position to help her make her own choices in a way that looks after her long term interests.
In other news, I want to thank all Victorian residents for having sent you lovely autumnal weather over the Tasman!! It has been a beautiful morning and I went out for a very fast 3km run around the harbour. (That said, it was fast for me, but I still had people overtaking me :H) The weather is looking good for Easter weekend as well ...... and I am planning my birthday celebrations for Saturday!!! I've had a few friends onto me about organising myself a celebration, but I had been very reluctant to as I didn't want to be in a situation where I might be tempted to drink as I'm not feeling very resilient at the moment. So I decided I would organise myself, but that I was going to organise stuff for me to do on my own or with Mr B! There is a theme here about learning to be good to myself!
So the plan is - buy presents for myself tomorrow (some new running shoes, a book I have been wanting to read, and some of my favourite body butter), preparation day on Friday (mainly involves having a sleep in and booking out the bathroom for an hour or three) and then Saturday I will have a long swim, come back to a breakfast that Mr B will have prepared while I am out, opning my presents (which Mr B will wrap), doing something together afterwards, getting my hair cut, and then we will go out for dinner.
And my biggest present to myself is that I am going to wake up sober and go to bed sober!!
Have a happy day all undies!Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn
