Just popping by to say I've been worrying about how things are going.

Just thinking of you both from across the ocean.

As hard as it is for the patient, it is sometimes even harder on the caregiver. I know what Mrs. Nighttime went through during my illness, transplantation, and recovery period, and it was very difficult for her. I wish you all the est, and here's hoping for a full recovery for OG.

Love to you, R & D, as always. I feel very guilty and selfish enjoying myself over Christmas when you are having such a nightmare time.

But then you know what I'm like ...

Remember me to OG and let me know if he says "Who?"

Oh gosh, you poor thing! I bet you wanted to smack that policeman! LOL! He wasn't to know, bless him.

I really do feel for you. I know how hard it is to get help when it's needed and Christmas is just crazily busy for services like this. I know how they drive you nuts despite your need for them too, having gone through the 'Mum, you really do need some help here' conversations and talks with Social Services. Must be so much worse for you.

Sending you the best of good thoughts and wishes to support you through all this. I hope you manage to have a good Christmas despite all, and that OG is comfy in his nice new bed.

By the way, if it's Thorpe Hall you're being offered, it has a smashing reputation. And it's in a beautiful Cromwellian Mansion in its own grounds on the outskirts of the city.

Thinking of you Ann and wishing you and OG all the very best, not just for Christmas but also for 2010. A x

I am so sorry for you. You must be going demented trying to cope with all this. At least be comforted by you wonderful family and our blogging friends. I for one will be thiking of you and praying for a miracle.

Hi Ann,

They are both made of stern stuff, your OG and my Mags, I guess I am the OG here, or is that SOG "Silly, Superior, Stupid, serene, .... Old G" what ever you want me to be. I just take the one that fits and use it a day at a time (Stupid usually fits for me). When I look at the help you have both given to us, and then read your blog. The physical problems I have had these past 6 years are no where near as bad as OG's. I do think, and pray for you both, in my own way. Without yourself for OG and Mags for me us OG's would have been in a fine state.

You have brought me back to memories of my father ...

You have brought me back to memories of my father who hallucinated during one point and thought he was back in the army and began giving me marching orders for his feet which he couldn't work.

You and OG and all of yours are in my thoughts. As everyone says - take whatever help you can get and take whatever sleep you can manage.

Life so often does not seem fair and I think it isn't. Knowing you have tried your hardest and done your best is what matters. And it is quite obvious you are giving your all and more.

Thinking of you and yours.

Accept all offers of help.
It is a great pity this has happened over Christmas when help is at a minimal.
My heart goes out to you.
Meanwhile you & OG will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hope you & OG manage to have some normal Christmassy pleasures and that the medication can be sorted out.

You must really be exhausted, Ann! So much going on, so much to do and worry about so please do not fret about reading blogs and responding to us. We know you are there and it is good to get an update on your status and that of OG - but no one expects any more at this time. I think a hospital bed will make life a bit easier but you will definitely need help moving your husband to and from the bathroom if he can't transfer himself. It will be good when home health people can get in regularly.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the children and grandchildren.

Thinking of you at this Christmas and keeping you and OG in my heart and in my prayers.
