Everyday I hear about how ...My mum is going blind. Everyday I hear about how much worse her eyes are than they were yesterday. She wants to see the eye doctor, believes he can fix her eyes. The doctor can't. She's going blind and can't accept that fact. She also has atrial fib which has been kicking her ass. She asked why she has it, I answered, because your heart is old. It's sad but true and still she rails against the truth.<br /><br />I wonder if I will be any different. It is hard though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-29547424348787253842012-11-09T15:19:10.648-08:002012-11-09T15:19:10.648-08:00You have given me new perspective to ponder.

However I think its quite justified you getting the feeling that you are in the wrong play!Moving your ma to be with you, whilst really amazing at the highest level, is always going to be a real drain on your resources, both financial and emotional. We had my husband's parents living next door to us for several years. At the beginning they were independent and didn't really need much of our time. John went and sat with them each evening to go through the days news.. at least what they counted as news... then George got parkinsons, and Ivy got dementia... so that was a whole new ball game. I spend many many hours with them in their last five years, and when it was all over, we were both drained and left high and dry inside ourselves. We had not realised the effort it had cost whilst we were still dealing with all the drama... so I really do empathise with you and know where you are coming from.. Perhaps you could get a kind neighbour to keep an eye on your mother for an evening out without her... you will have to do something like that or you will go mad I am sure..!!!!. I do hope there is a nice neighbour who will help once in a while, and I am sending you big hugs from across the pond in the meantime!!! janzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061408016373122220noreply@blogger.com
