Another LONG day

Poor mum she is exhausted but not as exhausted as having dad home - and there's no way he could possibly come home he really cannot move well and needs assistance in and out of bed, he cannot stand and is SO weak it is not nice to see him like this.


He was a bit better today and there was a little bit better colour in his cheeks and face generally and he was a little livelier although not for long.  He certainly has been through the mill and he just can't do anything for himself and after 30 or 40 minutes with us, he has to close his eyes and sleep.  He's just had one thing after another and he's tired and bless him, just fed up with this ongoing stuff.


Trying to rationalise it with him is difficult because you can't talk logic and sense slowly and deliberately when half way through his attention is taken by something else or he just falls asleep.  That's the problem, he wants to know about something but half way through the explanation he is distracted.


My brother needs to "man up" and stop being an arse to my mum or he will get the rough end of my tongue - he's in complete denial and over reacts massively. Anyway, he may get a "bit of a slap" if he continues to lay down the law to my mum as he does at the moment - he's full of medical knowledge but - of course - he's no doctor!  Just because he works at a Hospital doesn't make him an expert on Pancreatic Cancer or Diabetes.   He will be getting the benefit of my wisdom soon if he continues to upset my mum!
