(((Kaysdee) - I've said many times that I don't know how you deal with it all. I'm sorry that you're not getting the support that you need. Is there anyone that can advocate on your behalf? Someone from the Alzheimer's Society or similar? Does your eldest have a care coordinator?

Me too. Blimey Kaysdee, So hard.
NRGEE i dont know if it is possible to balance being protected and excluded. For example, for you to attend remotely at the end: effectively to hear a summary on what has been said, so you understand and have a way in to ask any follow up questions, so you can support practically, without bearing the emotional brunt of dealing with both your own and your mum’s emotions simultaneously. If you can work out what will be the hardest triggers for you, there might be a middle way xx

Kaysdee. That is really tough to read and I cannot imagine ho hard it must be for you.
I have a day off today, but will be off to MiLs shortly as we have a man coming to fix a leak from her boiler.
There have been a number of minor falls recently but incredibly she continues to avoid doing any real harm. She also hasnt seemed 100% of late without being able to put our finger on what is up.

So tough today. Arrived to find mil on the bathroom floor. It took both of us to get her up and it wasn’t easy. Luckily she hadn’t hurt herself. She needed assistance to get cleaned up and then helped back to bed where she just looked washed out.
The falls people arrived not long after we had her back in bed.
In my opinion it’s now well beyond the point where she is safe at home. I know the reaction when this has been raised before but wonder if she might be receptive now. Her legs just don’t work.
Ideally as a family we should sit down and talk it through. But of course that needs BiL to change his ways.
