We are both strong women and have some interesting discussions and negotiations!?!<br /><br />I came home to a half tiled kitchen floor, we can’t walk on it yet. I looks superb. Still sitting in bomb site though.<br /><br />LXLetticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251998081386015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633852516929929500.post-27877903157243871532018-06-28T19:32:29.430+01:002018-06-28T19:32:29.430+01:00A. doesn’t want or need carers, she does have a la...A. doesn’t want or need carers, she does have a lady that comes in to clean once a week. On Tuesday I am taking her back to the same hospital to see the specialist dealing with her tum. Today, I rather smoothly suggested I take a wheelchair, just in case, you understand? She sat in it as we waited for her name to be called to the appropriate department and strange to say she stayed put! Although coming back she did say that she didn’t want the dishy specialist to see how she has changed since our last visit a couple of months ago. It did make me smile as weak as she is these things matter. And who can blame her as I even slap on a tad more makeup! What a pair of ageing groupies we are!<br /><br />LXLetticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251998081386015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633852516929929500.post-16955701273236977192018-06-28T19:19:28.126+01:002018-06-28T19:19:28.126+01:00She does look very frail, she is so with-it menta...She does look very frail, she is so with-it mentally. The audiologist took a lot of time with her. We came away much brighter and even went to lunch at the Weald smokehouse which is a short distance from her flat. A. thoroughly enjoyed the day although now it seems her kidneys are failing, How she stays bright and upbeat amazes me, her intellect I suspect?<br /><br />LXLetticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251998081386015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633852516929929500.post-50718523047051887912018-06-28T09:12:12.853+01:002018-06-28T09:12:12.853+01:00Thinking of you as you make difficult decisions.

It's not something I volunteered for as I know I am not a patient person, but I am the only one nearby to help when needed. I started off helping with her dog, who now lives with us, but goes to J in the daytime for company. J's son comes every Saturday and I have had to guide him through what is required for his Mum since she suddenly became less capable a few years ago. I had already been through it all with my Mum! I love your red radiator. Look forward to seeing the tiles in front of it! xFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576715462615744934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633852516929929500.post-38734283767949467852018-06-28T08:17:19.685+01:002018-06-28T08:17:19.685+01:00Oh dear, what a predicament, and how sad that A is...Oh dear, what a predicament, and how sad that A is failing. I am sure you will do all you can to help both before the inevitable, and after. <br />It will be lovely to see the floor tiles … do photograph them for us I due course. <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.com
