That would make me mad Lizzie. I hope she’s asleep for your next visit. What does your mum think of her?

Mum says she is a bit loud. Mum is teaching her about diabetes when she can get a word in ;-). Much improved, thank you. She's got her stoma and is now on the waiting list for rehab/intermediate care unit. Mobility needs work. I am having kittens about her coming home, as she and Dad can kind of look after themselves but not eachother as well.

Fucking awful here. No one wants to assess my mum for autism, its a three year wait and she’s 88. So they contact her and she blocks them out, and they rock up and she panics. Id just got her to a place where i could drop by once a week and get food in and now she doesnt want to see me or for me to give her any food. Which is where we were when she got sectioned. Which i only accepted because she’d lost so much weight and they thought it might be dementia. Its all awful. I have a friend with a child of six whose been told not to bother getting an assessment because the wait is so long and i despair because its the only way sensory issues are believed and the only protection against a world that otherwise assumes your mad because the things they usually do and the ways they usually behave dont work. Both sides need to change *gets off soapbox*

When Dad had cancer the first time - he was 83 - we felt very much that we had to fight for treatment. The mindset was 'he's 83, he's not strong enough, he should just be made comfortable to die'. They didn't even want to do a biopsy. When they saw how quickly he recovered from the biopsy and how strong he was, they agreed to chemo and he got another three years of decent life before it came back. I totally understand that attitude, but it's frustrating and upsetting.
