Re: not coping

He will need to get used to it @outlander

Perhaps he will like it in a nursing home. He will always have company and someone to talk with.

Hopefully it happens soon.

Re: not coping

It's hard when the days going slow @outlander

I know how hard it is for you to do nothing, but maybe that might be a nice change.

Happy to keep you company!

Washing never ends here. I did some last night and by this morning there was another load to do. Bloody kids!

Re: not coping

You should hear back soon from somewhere @outlander

It's hard to have that space when it's not at your house.

Just explained to my mum for about the 20th time about her new bank account. Her dementia is certainly getting worse.
