Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51. have been reading the news about the wild weather, and thinking of you (and @Determined). Sounds like you didn't get the worst of it, but wild enough?

Thanks @Smc

Thinking of you also @Shaz51

We have had wild weather to the north south and west of us but so far nothing damaging locally despite plenty of hail.

I still get really anxious around storms after being caught in a really bad storm in the car a 3-4 years ago. (Hail in that one wrote the car off) . So thankful that we have missed the worst of this lot so far.

Regarding respite mum @Shaz51 , it could be someone taking her out for a walk or coffee of something. It's rest for you that you need. There's only so much you can keep doing. You have a lot on your plate.

thank you @Smc , @Sophia1

mum loves routine and does not handle change too good anymore

so this afternoon she is happy watching her tv shows and having a cuppa

very hot and stormy outside , soo being inside is the best

I am thinking that making a room for her so she does not have to use the steps is affecting her and making her anxious

Hello lovely @Shaz51

I cannot Believe that there are 51 people with the name shaz 🙃

can you take her there for short spells with a special song 🎵 playing. Have a look at photos. A magazine. Hand massage. Something that she loves. Different every time like a special surprise. Does she have a favourite colour.. see if you can get that colour serviette. So that the room represents a warm welcome for her.
a nice little pot plant or a vase with a few flowers from the garden

Special Night of the week have lunch or takeaway in her special room letting her know that you are sharing in her room.
I realise more time. Keep it simple.
Not hard work for you. 😍💜💕

@Shaz51

Hearing that you are a bit weary at the moment (more so than usual)

Thinking of you 🙏

You do a lot for Mr Shaz and Mum on too of looking after yourself. I admire your strength.

ohhhhhhh mum is in her new room downstairs and I have been up and down all day checking on her and did not sleep well last night

mr shaz said i will wear myself out , and i amm sooo tired already and this is only the first day

@Shaz51 💗💗

I'm sure you will both settle in over the following days @Shaz51 . Change is never easy for older people, especially when dementia is setting in. And no doubt you are worrying more than you need to. Totally understand you feeling you need to keep checking on her, but she will be okay. Its probably you that needs the greater care right now. You do way too much my sweet friend.

Very true my sisters @Emelia8 , @Snowie xoxo

Have been moving things around too and shifting things that mum wants
