Happy - CQC reports can be useful (if you have them or an equivalent in Scotland) or word of mouth. If you are on any local FB groups that could be a good place to start.
I hope it isn't too stressful Baz.

It all went well. Daughter was great and mil enjoyed it. I think she found it all a bit much though and was glad to be home in her bed.

Sorry I need to rant
I normally FaceTime mum Friday 7pm
I spoke last Friday and we saw her the next day
I told her I was out this Friday ie I wouldn’t FaceTime
I then didn’t call yesterday evening as she’s an avid strictly fan and it was the final.
So I called tonight
Ffs she complained that I had said I was out but didn’t say what was happening, so I said about strictly and she stropped that I could have called all day yesterday or today.
She never calls me!
So pissed off at her attitude.
Sorry I know it’s trivial compared to what a lot of you are going through.
On the plus side she did have her 48 hr heart monitor which she is taking back to the hospital tomorrow but don’t expect anything for 3-4 week “if they can be bothered”
(Counts to 10 and breaths)

Oh Pix, I totally hear you. I've just spoken to my Mum and it made me think of you.
My Mum started off by telling me that her legs were bad and she had had to go to bed, and that she had struggled to walk back from the post box earlier on. I asked her whether she was taking the drugs that the pain clinic gave her and she said no because of the side effects. FFS. I know it must be hard, but she can't have it both ways. She just can't accept that some problems can't be fixed by drugs with no side effects. She is so negative about everything. That last sentence could be my Mum talking. She always thinks everyone is doing their worst and lazy, especially - of all things - health care workers. She is having her brother and my cousin for Christmas Eve lunch - my sister will do all the catering - and she was moaning on 'I wish I hadn't said they could come'. She really struggles to find joy in anything at all. And her best friend has a man friend and she's really upset and jealous and can't find it in her heart to be glad for her (friend is 86....). She just commented that she had bought a sparkly top 'when normally she's so frumpy'. I find it so hard not to be sucked into complaining as well, and to say something that isn't judgemental of her but also doesn't agree with her. And breathe. As you say.

Frustrating, Pix. [Have to say though, if my mum's experience of the 48 hr heart rate monitor is anything to go by, she's correct. My mum was told it would be 3 weeks before she got any results. She heard nothing and I had to chase it up for her through her GP.]

It’s hard isn’t it?
I sometimes think I’m bad that I should do more then I think no! She needs to do more. She can’t expect everyone else to do things
Then she makes me feel like a bitch by reacting like that.
So hard

She could call you but doesn't. My mum generally doesn't. She has been since I came home yesterday morning, mainly for reminder about which eye drops to use.
