Thanks ellen - at least they have found a respite bed so we can go. Mam is desperate to go into a home - she actually wants to go - but social services are playing cagey - they want us to find our own place and pay for it and that is prob whats going to happen cos the fight to get anything else is just too much and they know this. Folk prepared to fight are folk who are determined to have something for nothing - those of us who have been doing the job for nothing are worn down and not capable of the fight by the time - like me - they wave the white flag just before going under. Ian needs this break - he's been suffering from listening and watching me go daft ... we may both be stronger when we return .......

I am sure that your mam will be well looked after Pauline and the help you need will be to hand.I know you have not gone down this road lightly so dont be scared-take the help and know your mam is going to be looked after.......take care of yourself too x
-
Have a safe journey and dont get into trouble LOL....Catch up with you on your return,take care,El

Yes I know I'm going away again .... but I can foresee a time when there might be no hols and going places is the only thing I;ve lived for - I don't know quite when the desire to go places arrived but I think my dad might be to 'blame' cos thro my early teens the routine was shop and wash on a Saturday - day out on the scooter (no car then!) on a Sunday ... he'd think nothing of a 350 mile trip round Derbyshire/Yorks/Lake District!! There seems to be a lot of folk about left with nasty persistant tickly coughs after that last virus round so its prob just a left over with your mum too. Yes we had a few grass seeds with the cat - but it was usually in an ear - can be fun with a cat - dogs can bite when upset - but cats bite and scratch - into the pillowcase and tucked under arm with just head showing - then go for it! Better get on with the packing - most of its in the living room just need to make it disappear into the camper ...........

Oooh am soo jealous you are able to get away-my next hol is in September!! Mum isnt too bad,but has to have a chest xray next week-after that chest infection has left her with an annoying cough.Doc said its probably nothing but with her past history of chest problems its best to check all is ok....
Rusty has managed to pick up a grass seed in one of his paws,I managed to remove it and bathed paw in salt water but took him to vets where he was given an antibiotic injection and I was told to continue bathing the paw and watch out for any swelling etc.Fingers crossed it will settle down and normal walking will resume.Always check him for grass seeds but there are so many at the moment!!!!
I hope you enjoy your next hol but try not to collect anymore stitches LOL........

Wondering how you're doin? Found myself with half an hour to spare this morn! I have an app at the docs for blood an urine tests to do with this pain in my back (an a normal thyroid check) but I'm nil by mouth since last night an would love a cuppa!! Hope all ok with you and mum and Rusty? The living room is filling up again with 'packed things' ready for my next great escape starting Wed - I'm off to the isles for 10 days via Skye leaving mam and Ian behind ........ after needing 3 stiches in my head last month out there I'm wondering if I'm fit to be let loose alone - but until something major happens I shall keep trying .... he says I'm very trying at times!! LOL!!

Yes Rusty has been pretty stable since the liver count has come down and I just make the most of the situation.I try to get him out every day where he can have a good off lead run.Mind you as he is deaf now I have to keep an erye on him when in the woods-he can disappear after a squirrel as fast as lightning!! He belies his advancing years lol!!
As long as he enjoys his food and walks I know he is enjoying life-the true love of being a pet owner is knowing when to let them go.......they take your hearts to break them eh?

You were meant to laugh! Surely a lower enzyme count means the liver isn't having to work so hard so thats a good thing isn't it? Its difficult when pets get older and you have to nurse and guide them thro their declining years - we had the same thing with Sutty our cat who had the feline equivalent of Aids - cats apprently get the virus thro fighting and being bitten - not sex like humans - well as far as anyone can tell - tho I see no reason for the virus to be in all components of a mammal, semen, blood, saliva but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway we nursed him for 18 months and inbetween viral attacks he was normal and lived a normal very happy life. As for heat - I'm not sorry its broken down here for a spell and we've had rain - tho not enough of it - we're supposed to get more tomorrow .......
