Far and Away

Your mum needs to be listened to @Shaz51 becsuse her needs are important and if she feels she is still okay to be at home with support then that is what you should do. Just stating that she is nearly ready to stay in hospital but not quite yet shows me that she has thought about it and what the future ill look like ...but she is not quite resdy for that all around care just yet. If you can continue to care for her at home yourself then that is the way you should go. I will add though if it is too much for you my sister then having that conversation with her about future care is also really important - you have to care for yourself first Shaz

Yes , I have just told my cousin what you told me @Zoe7

Soo next week will be busy taking her up to the hospital for redressing of her arm

And then after Friday eye tests , I have to see a specialist as my pressure in my left eyes is very high

Good @Shaz51 You are the one best placed to know what your Mum wants and what you can both deal with moving forward. Your cousin is not there every day looking out for your Mum so honestly they have no say here at all.

I hope your eye issues can be helped quickly my sister - sounds painful

Well my left eye I can not see anything out of

Because of my rubella syndrome it affected my eye and my ears , blind in one eye and totally deaf in one ear all my life

Now have a cataract in the left blind eye and it aches sometimes

@Faith-and-Hope Been asleep for a little while again. Tobes has kept me company. Not sure where Cat is but she has had the run of the house and backyard whilst we have been asleep so who knows what she has been up to

How is Nelly tonight? How are you too Hon? Have those twisty feelings settled or are you still working through paperwork and the upcoming meeting?

Nelly is up to a bit of mischief tonight @Zoe7 .... she is looking for attention and I am busy with paperwork, and out and about for the kids and other things ..... I cooked in the art space tonight to feed the baby dragons there. Nelly has started throwing kitty litter much wider from her tray than she was, and is climbing all over bench tops and furniture .... I just found her perched on my bathroom bench. She has been kept to my room for the moment cos D3 is not up to her having run of the house yet, so she is probably getting a little bored, but it also tells me she is feeling settled in too.

Hugs @Shaz51 ..... 💜💐. I am flowing along with you Hon, just a little short in words at the moment. I do want to repeat what @Zoe7 said though ..... you need to look after yourself as much as anyone else. It's important to care for the carer so they can keep caring ❣️

Thanks @Bimby2 😊

Hi to anyone else around 👋

Oh naughty Nelly @Faith-and-Hope but super cute as well It is a really good sign that she is settling in though as you said and good that she is wanting attention from you 👍 She will settle down the funiture hopping in time - she is just finidng her feet and her boundaries right now ...and a little of it might be boredom but it is also good because when she is able to explore more of the house she will know that your room is hers also. 😺😁💕

I have an enclosed litter tray that Cat uses Hon - it stops the litter being scattered everywhere and traps the smell in a little too. Might be worth investing in one. Kmart has one that looks like this...

I do hope you are getting through the paperwork - so much for you to do at present both physically and emotionally 💜💙💚🧡💛 Leaving this for you also - just as you have done for me several times...

🌧💃 .... @Zoe7 ❣️

Keep dancing Hon - the storm will pass in time and there will be brighter days ahead 💖🌞 @Faith-and-Hope Remember you brighten my world every day ...just sayin'
