Good Morning Wednesday 11th January 2023

Good morning from sunny York!
Had an early start this am to get to York. My hearing aid has stopped so working and it can only be dealt with at York District Hospital- a bit of a nuisance but gives us chance to get to this lovely city.
So glad you managed to enjoy the WI GrandMattie. I have to admit I am loathe to go out in the evenings since lockdown. Probably my age!!
Sorry you had a down day yesterday Ashcombe hope today is better
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning everyone. Very cold and windy here in this corner of Lancashire, light grey skies.

There was a tremendous storm last night, very noisy but no sign of any damage.

I’m not sleeping well, my various impairments are competing to see which one can cause the most hassle.

Wishing you all well.

Thank you for your kind comments regarding yesterdays upsetting appointment.

Ann, I said to my husband and brother it would have been much better if mum had been visited at home.We are still at the stage where we have a lot of positives to be thankful for and this would have been apparent in a home visit.Sadly the clinician we saw had no empathy and it seemed like a box ticking exercise.

I worked in the NHS for many years and it saddens me to see the state it is in in many areas.

We had a very good experience when B was ill and in hospital over Christmas but unfortunately all our dealings with mum’s surgery have not been good.

My brother phoned while I have been writing this post.He said she is still upset but cheered up when he said they are taking her out to lunch,She has requested to go back to the restaurant we went to yesterday!

Susan I do hope your DM gets the help she needs. It is staggering how the NHS has deteriorated so quickly. Hopefully the lunch out will help but I can imagine myself in her situation and it is scary.
My mum was diagnosed with dementia when she broke her hip and for some reason they did a brain scan. I do not think at any time she was aware.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Thank you dragonfly.I think maybe what is so difficult is that she still has a lot of awareness.I’m sorry you went through this with your mum💐

Ann, I am sorry my post brought back memories of sad and difficult times for you💐

Please don’t apologise Susan
I am reminded constantly of my H ,it is part of life, the good and bad times are always with me. It is with us all.

Ann💐
