She is going with the flow. It is a blessing. I have friends whose once gentle parents became irascible and odious creatures. <br /><br />FrancescaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-14420571357426151402017-02-03T07:23:48.215+09:002017-02-03T07:23:48.215+09:00You, know, I think so too!

Mind you - I did introduce it all in careful stages as they suggest in all the literature.<br />First - lets's go out. Then - let's just stop here because I need something. Then - oh yes, you come inside too and wait with me. Then - oh look, here is my application form and here is yours. Then - it's nice they will see us on a Sunday, isn't it. Then - let's go in together. Finbally - oh you are lucky - you are not so bad! She trotted along thru all that quite happily....amazing really.<br />Oyome-san1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17613603965553003711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-84519699037452398372017-02-02T06:42:19.171+09:002017-02-02T06:42:19.171+09:00I am amazed you managed to do so much being so sic...I am amazed you managed to do so much being so sick. I get the feeling she is more pliable now, isn't she? That helps. <br /><br />Drink lots of ginger tea and rest.

Don't worry...HI Li - thankyou for your comment. Don't worry about me - winter iS the hard time when he is away working. And this winter has been the worse. But from April to November he works 9 to 6 pm, and is home a lot shopping/cooking/laundry etc. He is a very hand on son in law and a very unusual Japanese man in that he likes spending time with his "wife" and at home. We do a lot as a couple :-) And I go off to rock concerts and foreign trips - he stays and cares for his mum. Winter is his away time. Summer is mine.<br />Oyome-san1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17613603965553003711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-12491186888202497772017-01-31T13:34:21.958+09:002017-01-31T13:34:21.958+09:00Been through all of that with one parent w/ dement...Been through all of that with one parent w/ dementia and the other Alzheimer's. Have the most admiration for you! You're a tough lady & you deserve all the appreciation from your family! Please take care of yourself! Respite in the form of a week or month of Okaasan in a senior home is what I recommend. Yes, might be inconvenient/expensive but your husband should be happy to finance this!!!!!!!! I am so angry for you.
