It's awful to say but it's almost a relief when they do go for their own sake and for everyone who has to look after and worry about them (but you shouldn't say that last part out loud)Yes the extention we put up was about 50 grand. We are about 2 yrs down the line so that's basically paid for itself .... without being unkind we are hoping for his sake and ours that he pops off before needing a care home !!
....I must admit to smiling to some if the things he says .......
OH is horrified !!!
To see someone you knew so well when they were so independent and capable of everything deteriorate to the point of being as helpless as a baby but harder to look after is pretty soul destroying. Especially when you know that they themselves would hate to be in that position if they were of sound mind. But they have no f**king idea what's going on.
