Good luck tomorrow. Have you got a surgery date yet?

Be lovely to see Leopard hatchling photos when you’re up to it. How long do the star eggs incubate for? How lovely - new little tortie babies.

No date yet I think I need more antibiotics as tried to work today but had to give in.
Star eggs are about three months I think all being well.
Will put some pics up soon as I'm going to take some time off.

You look after yourself, G.
Don’t push yourself as you’ll end up doing more harm than good and I know how stubborn men can be!
Sounds good you’re going to take time off.

Dementia is horrid! My Mom has been suffering for at least five years now & has really deteriorated, is bed ridden now, all she.Can do is eat and say the odd word.

My Dad isn't right either. He had a nasty fall about four years ago resulting in a.bleed on his brain. He has similar problems to mom, confusion, memory loss etc but also jealousy & paranoia. They need lots of support & live over an hour away, so keeping me very busy.

My Sister says my Mom would die of embarrassment if she could of seen herself the last few year's, but luckily she is un- aware. The only saving grace.

Sorry to read this, Lynn. It’s something we all hope we don’t come to and it must be terrible for early onset sufferers who are aware to start with and understand what is going to happen, but for those unaware it’s a blessing.

You must be exhausted. Hope you’re taking care of your own well-being too. x

Thanks Emma I have had a long Xmas break & mom has been in hospital after a fit (apart from one incident of my Dad bursting into the ward at 6am & waking all the patients, accusing the hospital of keeping my Mom in so Dr's could have sex with her!!) It's been great! I have managed to do lots of knitting & get some sleep

I’m sure maintaining some degree of a sense of humour is necessary too.
Glad you’ve had some respite. Some creativity and decent sleep can help to restore the mind. Take care of yourself.

oh no this is so sad but it is life or so it seems when elderly get elderly. I hate the condition but love my mum even though drive me absolutely to tears often. My Dad was told he was fit to go home even though he didn't know who I was, couldn't walk (he was 6ft 2") and thought the fire brigade lived in his hospital room, because he could say the word caterpillar after 3 tries. I always remember it - I thought the assessment nurse had escaped from the local mental health ward as an imposter, and laughed so much I was crying. My Dad asked if I had to come to make the beds in front of the Assessment Nurse......I nearly did !! CB
