My F-I-L was a very forceful man always [dare I say arrogant?] It is strange for me to see how feeble he has become, though he stops short of being biddable! His dream is that his daughter will move here from NY. She does not seem inclined, except for a week here and there, so he is stuck with every other day visits from me!!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-69400015294448426672010-10-21T18:36:42.835+11:002010-10-21T18:36:42.835+11:00I rejoice for you that you had a good trip, but I ...I rejoice for you that you had a good trip, but I am very sorry for your worries now that you are home.<br /><br />Both of my parents are dead, and, sad though that is, there is also a lot of relief in it.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-19649676814692464272010-10-20T19:09:24.026+11:002010-10-20T19:09:24.026+11:00I am being told the same.

I must live my own life, but this seems difficult if not impossible, when the rhthym of our lives depends on his moods.<br />I do feel for you, and know you have a much harder role than I do.<br />I hope you can continue to have a 'life' as they say.Meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074676856646898900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-24041087146955118772010-10-20T09:00:46.136+11:002010-10-20T09:00:46.136+11:00Jet lag is indeed an awful experience.

I hope your recovery is more quick.<br /><br />Perhaps one benefit of going away is that you were able to recognise the changes in Dr P's condition, whereas if you had not gone away you might not have noticed the smaller day-to-day differences. <br /><br />I had meant to reply to your email while you were away, and oh dear, now you are back and I have not yet written. I am sorry, and will try to remedy my neglect soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-54921131070641838792010-10-20T06:31:41.801+11:002010-10-20T06:31:41.801+11:00Oh dear.

And now my confused aunt, who was a doctor and very efficient and energetic, sits all day in a chair looking into space. Do get all the help you can. You need a life too.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.com
