Verdun there are some lovely kind people and most are in their profession because they are. I think the problem arises when we encounter individuals who run homes etc..who are just in it for profit. I won't continue as this is our thread to support each other and not for me to go off on one
GemmaJF you haven't had a KEF hug before, accept one now you so deserve it, admiration for what you have faced and facing.
My thoughts are with all of you who have terrifying and very sad things to face, you aren't alone we are here if it helps. x
The problem with the old folks is that they dont sit upright or walk about to naturally clear the fluids.
I can hear my mum either snoring or very laboured breathing, she wont be going for an x-ray though. She thinks because she coughs up its ok because she is clearing it.
I think I will go mad in a minute, mum one side, OH the other! He has had a Nightol or two and I cannot even disturb him. I think its time to beat him with the bedside lamp, I am so tired, if I am not in here tomorrow you'll know I have been arrested for mass murder.either that or the men in white coats will come for me!
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Hugs Lynn - don't forget that link about support for carers that I posted. As Lesley says, if you don't look after yourself who's going to look after them? You need some respite.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lyn you can't keep doing what you are currently doing.
Some jobs will have to be left.
This is meant with kindness, I suggest if mum wants to stay in bed you let her I'm sure she understands the consequences and why you want her to be mobile, but it is her choice. You can't keep doing all the physical things and the emotional strain you are under is huge. I understand your love for your parents is driving you but you will be very ill if you continue to battle alone.

Hugs Lyn. I hope you can get some sleep later. Your own health is at risk if you can't get some respite.
Thinking of everyone going through difficult times. Hugs.
Big hugs Lyn, take care of yourself too. Best wishes xx
