Hi all my little bear cubs or owls - I would love to write to everyone individually - it's not easy typing right now. And I am out of touch with so much - I know you ladies have had rough patches too.

 

I am getting some help with personal care next week - it is hellishly hard to change my clothes and getting private help is not as easy as one might think - and I think I know why. Still - I have someone coming three days next week.

 

My daughter has disappointed me so deeply I find it really hard to find a place to make it easier - we are talking again - still - I am reluctant to text anything right now that I am home - and I have had a lot of things to deal with.

 

She thinks I should be in aged care - and I was furious. She doesn't have the right - she is not my carer or needs to attend to any other issues. She has her health problems and I am not sharing mine with her much - she didn't even know I had burned my arm until MEPACS rang her to say I had been taken to hospital in an ambulance - and I had not asked them to tell her.

 

Having MEPACS get an ambulance for me for the second time in 3 days was - ah - weird - the ambos didn't seem to know what to do about me but finally took me to the private ED - I didn't have anything but my phone and my charger - and I was there for two weeks.

I felt so insulted when she mentioned that I should be in an old age home and why would she know how interesting my life is and how important - and what I would have taken away from me - stuff no one can see but it important to me - like my independence.

 

I don't know what to do about her -  I don't like mentioning it here - but where else? I am so unhappy about that - and about her attitude generally.

 

She has bad pain days - this I understand - I don't interfere in her life - aw - I have said enough.

 

I know all of you have had stuff going on that is rough and tough - I hope to get onto people as I can 

 

My love and best wishes
