Why couldn't I fall for an orphan?

Here we are sitting around waiting for our takeaway when the next bombshell lands on us! I don't know if I mentioned it before but Dave's dad has vascular dementia and over the last year or two we've had to the occasional call from his mum about "one of his turns" (Dave doesn't know half of it his mum insists I can't tell him - his dad will just go and on a few occasions she's had to hide in the bathroom because she's terrified and he's kicked in doors he's a sweet gentle guy who never did no-one harm it's so cruel he's got this he isn't even 70 and its put paid to the long happy retirement they planned) then she called Boxing Day because he had a turn then yesterday he thought his other son and kids were there (Dave's mum said they were going to Sonia's dad- Sonia is my sort of SIL- Dave's mum regards me as a daughter even through we are not married- for this Xmas since Sonia's mum died this year but I do wonder whether she put them off) then she calls me today almost in tears he's had two " really bad turns" today. Her health isn't that good and she's coping on her own with no support- apparently the nurses come every couple of months and he's always okay when they come and also I strongly suspect she's been covering up but now she's at her wits end. snip Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Lots and lots of purrs, Polonca and Soncek |

Purrs? PLEASE!- Update
Hi All Finally I think Dave's mum has agreed that she can't cope on her own with his dad anymore. She called me yesterday to tell me that social services have been called in by the nurse (although she's still saying she doesn;t want those "Nosy social workers to know our business") and it looks like as long as they can persuade him to go (difficult bit) he'll be taken to hospital for 1-2 weeks for assessment once a place can be found. She's still insisting he can drive through because she needs him to be able to do that so she can go and get her hair done. Dave thinks she's a bit crazy and not helping. I think she's just trying to cling onto normality which is understandable.. She just keeps saying how they never spent more than a night or so apart and she doesn't want to be in the house on her own Oh dear....just realised this and the next update I want to send and the new thread I am about to post, none of them are good news...I guess I am going to be asking for extreme purrs for a good few friends Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
