My own Mum has this disease................she is in a home now, which was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

It has worked out really well for her though and the staff love her to bits too.

I am really pleased you are able to manage to care for her 24/7.

Her children are missing so much.........as you say, she is still their one and only Mum.

Although mum no longer recognises any family and has lost most of her speech, she is still there, somewhere.

You are truly an Angel, Irish Angel, I just hope I can be as patient if we have MiL to live with us......bless you....

You must be a gem.

We all do things for our mothers, but you have considered your mother-in-law as your mother too.

Good luck to you all, I will think about you every now and again. You will stay in my mind now.

God bless,
Deanna X

Hi Lesley
Thank's Hun
No morecanvassing we are back in the catering industry we are making mince pies for some government politician I hope that you are having as much fun as me .

Lynn,

you are an absolute star, bless you.
My poor Mummy in in the early stages and I am so far away from her. It is such an awful thing, she is fit and healthy in herself its just the mind has gone. Like your MIL she always said she did not want to go in a home, but I was to shoot her first. I fly back to the UK every 5/6 weeks and notice how quickly it is taking hold of her, so I do not think it will be too long before I will need to stay with her permanently. An awful, awful illness - keep your chin up angel, laugh with her whilst you can my love - enjoy your canvassing but wrap up well.
thinking of you, Lesley xx

Thanks Kim
My own family helped me as much as they can just no support from her own family really.
But do know what I don't care any more as long as she's happy I'm happy.
my god what a cruel illness I have never seen such a deterioration so quick I will never let her go in to a home I don't care how hard it gets no way.
I just wouldn't trust anybody with her love her to bits thanks everyone have a good evening.
She's on about going canvassing again will see x x

Lynne, I feel for you and your MIL ,this isone of the hardest things to have to deal with .Please make sure you are getting all the help you can and look after yourself too .TC ((((HUGS))))

Hi
Yes everything OK at the doctor's I don't think that he much good but she absolutely adores him.
he did give me 14 days sleeping tablets to try her on a will just see how it goes.
She is so funny at the moment though she seems to think that she works for the government thinks I'm a personal Secretary so today she decided that we had got to go canvassing. So we've been up and down the road for an hour just posting nothing in everybody letterbox and I don't know what the neighbours and everybody else thinks she as really enjoyed herself that is all that matters.
So glad that I did this thread it is made me feel not alone thank you x x

Hi
Jackie I will never give up on this lady Hun a few years ago we watched a documentary careing for the elderly.
It was really horrible this was right at the beginning of my mother in law's illness and bless her she held my hand looked at me.
And said sweetheart I will never have to go in one of those places will I and my promise was not while there's breath in my body and I really do mean that.
Must go got to do her hair before we go to the doctor's.

so sorry to hear about your mil it is very destressing to see someone with this illness, my mil had it so very upsetting, thinking of you all praying you have strength to carry on caring
love Jackie

Good morning everyone
Thanks your support is so very appreciated to be honest I'm finding her family more hard work than my mother-in-law.
That only support that I get from her daughter and son not my partner he's brilliant with her they just want to put her in a home.
I just can't do that it would kill her yes I may be having sleepless nights but at least I know it is because I am caring for a lovely lady. Her daughter and son doesn't even come to see her her daughter lives in blackpool no excuse. And her son is all over the world sponsoring a well known snooker player he says he has to go to give him support. Stupid man is what I say you only have one mum.
Take care have fun
Love lynne x x

Hope you get some help Angel
this is a very cruel disease, I have no experience of it fortunately but I can only imagine the heartache one must feel
take care of yourself-your doing a wonderful thing
