Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I have been a bit slack in reading emails from the group recently. I currently have 298 to catch up on. I will get to them, hear what's going on, but have noticed one or two enquiring as to how Mum and I are. Thankyou for your concern. So just a brief update, as there's not much to say. Mum really struggles with seeing bugs, she has become absolutely obsessed with them. Every little spot it seems is moving, and is a bug. She has especially seen then on the stairs to her room, says they move like the ocean waves. She also sees them in her food, in her clothes, everywhere. We got a pest management man in last Friday and he did the house from top to bottom, and the first Mum did when we returned was to check the stairs. She came down and said she didn't think the man had done a very good job. I'm at my wit's end as to what to do now. Have tried everything, don't know there's much I can do except try distracting her whenever she sees them. Mum has slowly deteriorated over the past three months, but is not anywhere as bad as lots of LOs here in this group, so I am not complaining. As for me, I'm just settled into the routine that is caregiving, getting the occasional weekend off, looks like I might get the period between Christmas and New Year to myself, that is something I am looking forward to. I have also planned another trip to the US in late January so am really looking forward to that. We are looking at putting Mum into a NH for the time I am away, see how she likes it, and whether that's an option for the future. Hope everyone is well, and intend to catch up on posts soon.
