Pauline, thanks for the update. Gosh it's all go isn't it! I'm exhausted just reading all that's been going on.
I'm so pleased you've found some carers that you can rely on. You have a fantastic, well-earned break!
Take care.

Hi Pauline, Good old Uncle Dave, eh? God bless him!
I am thrilled that you are getting yourself sorted. Night night. xxx

Great news Pauline, have stood down to amber ;-)
I just wanted to thank you very much for the kind words in my 3000 post thread. I was very happy and read your post out to my colleague, who said I should include your words in my yearly work appraisal :-) If only it was that easy LOL. Talk soon, HW xxx

Hi Pauline, I can't help but be more than a little concerned about you right now. If you need someone to chat to, PM "Aunty" Hedge (I'm a little younger than you, but yet it's still technically possibly ;-)). Thinking about you and sending positive vibes your way. xx

Can you laugh about the goat creature now (I hope you can, I am finding it more than a bit amusing, but feel guilty if you are not over this yeti, oops I mean yet ;-))?

Panic attacks are the pits, aren't they. I had prescription drug-induced panic attacks after an operation. I had no clue what was happening. At one point I was about to faint, but convinced myself I was about to die. So I ran round and round my flat like a headless chicken, absolutely petrified, I thought I had to keep moving to keep breathing (I was and am so bloody minded that I was not going to give in to this). I called a friend and they got me seen by a doctor, who gave me enough tranquilizer to floor a horse, straight into in the buttocks of all places. I was sent home, only slightly calmer, it was supposed to make me sleep like a baby. Then 5 h later was up doing the headless chicken again! I can laugh now, but for years the memory haunted me.
You can't go it alone with your Mum, not for long anyway. I hope you are pushing for help. You need breaks, you'll need more if/as she gets worse. This is not selfishness, it's an absolute necessity. Get that help - I cannot stress this enough. I don't mean to speak out of turn, you may already have this in hand. xxx

How is she? You getting all that sorted, or is it overwhelming right now? When life throws things like that at me, I don't tend to cope. I concentrate on one thing and become obsessed, so I don't have to think too much, or deal with it. I think that's why I like WAB so much - it's the healthiest form of addiction I know. The sort where you still feel part of a community. I realise now I used to drink most evenings away before. Now when I drink, I read my posts the next day, and realise how daft I am, so I don't tend to do it! LOL

Hi Pauline, cheers! It's just a bit of fun. I'm still finding my way also, and there is always something new and exciting at the mo, isn't there? Keeps our brains in shape though - working it all out and coming to terms with the changes. LOL ;-)

I love your cat piccy Pauline, he was gorgeous! I know how much he meant to you.

Gorgeous WAB Xmas card, Pauline, and (I hope you don't mind me saying) very amusing the way you drew the snow on.
