John Suchet

Was listening to the radio on my way home tonight and John Suchet was on talking about his wife who had dementia.
He said he was told to keep a journal of it all and that was one of the reasons I started up my original blog and I don't know what happened.
I suppose I got to the stage where if I don't blog about mother's antics they don't really happen or get worse, its like I'm asking for it to happen!
I know its daft but I'm sure sometimes the big fat cosmos is out to get me!

Out reach BTW has been hauled back to once a fortnight.
Deep joy.
What we do need is for her to be taken away at 9am and then brought back at tea time.
She might enjoy talking utter pants to the other oldie talking pants back to her!
Might make her appreciate being here.

Some of the things John Suchet did mention rang home to me.
Unless you've been through it with someone you just don't know what its like.
Folk make the right noises but they don't get the intensity of some of the situations and how stressful it is and how frustrating.
Especially if like me you work and try and keep every plate going at the same time.
Not been doing that great this last week.
Work has been utter pants.
Hate it and want out. Its not the job per se, but the folk ( OK not all just a very tiny amount!)  I now cannot stand.
Some really need to get a grip and find out what real stress is!
Sorry but its how I feel.
Tho on the up side my first respite in a year happens 3 weeks, yes folks, 3 weeks today I shall hopefully be on final approach to my destination!
Got to admit the first time I'm looking forward to flying!
Bring it on!!
