Good news Lenco!

And Buster, keep us posted.

Great news Lenco. I’m really pleased for you As I said with Mr.Ds mother, it was a relief. We were well out of our depth.

Im sure Buster wont mind Lenco. We’re all in the same boat and Buster would be the first to call it the SS Titanic

Thank you all once again for your comments.

Yes it's a bittersweet situation; highly emotional and poignant, but on the flip side, a sense of freedom and relief, albeit in a rather guilty sense, as if we're kind of pushing her out and disowning her, which we certainly aren't.

But of course, as I've already said upthread, we sometimes (ironically) have to be cruel to be kind, especially in situations like this.

But thank goodness Kate W and Leonardo aren't at the helm of this thread...

The relief must be immense but don't be surprised if it takes a while to adjust and relax because you've been used to living a very stressful life for a long time..

But I'm generally thinking philosophically and along the lines of 'times move on' and 'time is a healer'.

Tough initially, but easier in the long run, once accustomed to the changes.

Buster, hope you are ok

Today's lowdown:

My dad took my mom to the care home at lunchtime, and surprisingly he said that she was fully co-operative with the staff there when she arrived, and went in peacefully with no noticeable signs of distress or resistance, which we're both relieved about.

And it's a really nice place she's been admitted to for the time being.

Positive stuff Lenco...

My mum had a few respite stays Lenco. Don’t be surprised if they send her home after 2 weeks, but if they do I can guarantee she will be in a better mood than when she left. I hope she enjoys her stay and you enjoy your respite. You should be able to go ad see her if you want, I used to pop & see my Mum at dinner time some days.
