Good morning everyone.
Huia,I am so sorry I could not speak to you last night. I was so upset for you.
God willing help is now coming to you both.
Once they get Phil's medication down to a fine art,you will notice a new man.
And whilst you will never have the same man back,he will still be the person that you love underneath it all.
My love goes out to you. Mo xxx

Once again, thank you all for caring so much. I visited Phil today and he seemed calmer on the new meds. but he still wanted to come home. But at least I didnt finish in tears. I know he cant come home, after all he is not the man I married and it is for the safety of both of us. I am happy enough most of the time, not always in tears.

Happy anniversary to everybody who has one today, tomorrow, whenever. Ditto birthdays. I have just woken from a sleep that I had on the settee after I got home so am now having a cuppa and will get dinner in an hour.

Huia.

Huia, I am so sorry that you are going through so much heartache, no one can really understand what you are going through unless they have been there, we are always here for you even so many miles apart that cant seperate our feelings for you and Phil, it must be quite frightening for him, as he will know things are not right, so my love, you are both in our prayers and thoughts, hope you can get some sleep, try to get more rest during the day too...

much love and hugs Jean xxx




Sallie, we are going in an apartment that we have been going to for over 30 years, perfect for us, very classy and no kids , dont get me wrong I adore children, especially when they can go home with mum and dad, lol,
we have been there and done that,... so far no grandchildren, but I live in hope.....Liz is trying to book a holiday so that will be why she isnt on much..how is the scrapping going, dont forget to let us see your pages....

sorry Grace , I forgot you yesterday, hope all is well with you...

love to all Jean xx

Hi All,
Sorry--couldn't back earlier, things didn't go as planned-- so I'm later than I hoped to be.

Huia lets hope they can sort out Phil's medication so that he can go to the rest home that is your first choice-- it will be more convenient for you.
Alun's brother-in-law has Alzheimers he was diagnosed with it five years ago when he was 58--I don't know how Alun's sister copes at times. He is on medication to try to slow it down, which has worked, but because we only see him every few months, we notice a slow deteriation more than the family that see him most days. It's a cruel disease, and my heart aches to see him like he is.
Huia, try not to worry too much and get too downhearted--it will be whats best for Phil and yourself. You couldn't carry on as things were.

Ann, happy anniversay for tomorrow, I hope both and your hubby will have a lovely day. Do you wonder where the years have gone? Sometimes, I wish I could hold on to time so that it doesn't go by so quickly.

Marilyn, nice to see you home again, it will be lovely having your sister to stay for a few days--hope the weather will be good for her stay with you.
Did you all enjoy your lamb dinner? I like most meats, but lamb is my favourite.

Mo, you've been lucky with the weather today-- it's been a bit wet and miserable here today--not drying weather at all. Never mind, at least we got the shopping done--and even better, my friend came shopping with us today, although I pushed her trolley and lifted stuff off the shelf and put them in the trolley for her. Alun pushed our trolley, so we managed to work it between us.

Jean, I'm glad you managed to get into Llandudno as I know that you like it there. Are you staying where you usually stay?
As both you and Mo say, there are lots of us on this thread now--the more the merrier. This is a nice thread, with lovely and caring people on here
and everyone is so friendly.

We haven't heard from Liz for a while, I hope she is alright.

Debbie, I hope you have had some good news about your Dad.

Sue, hope your son is alright.

Marie, glad to see that all is well with you and your family.

Grace, hope all is well with you and your family.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!

Ann nearly forgot to say that our wedding anniversary is on Friday, it will be
our 42nd anniversary.

Well off to bed now, it's very late, but wanted to get this message written.

Best wishes to you all.

Love, Sallie.xx

E.mail sent Jean.

Thank you, Linda and Ann. I am sitting here in tears. No wonder on a couple of occasions I have found myself looking at the box for requesting a review. All I though I was doing was hitting the drop down thing for more pages.

I must go now and get myself sorted to go for the visit.

Huia.

Sending you a big ((((((hug)))))) Huia, what an awful disease it is that robs somebody of their life yet leaves them living it. It truly is a living death. I hope that they can sort out Phil's medication so that he can be at peace with himself and you can get some rest.

Ann
Glos

Oh Huia
I'm sitting here in tears for you. It is a stinking illness that takes away the person you knew and loved and leaves this other body nothing like your loved one.

I hope your visit is more peaceful today and the medication calms him a little.

Remeber take care of yourself too while all this is going on

Linda :o) XxX

I am going to visit Phil again today. I missed yesterday as I had a docs appointment for my sinuses at 1.30. I dont look forward to visiting because I often end in tears with him arguing over whether or not he is coming home with me.

Apparently they are trying him on a different stronger medication to try to sort out his behaviour (trying to break doors to get out) but if it doesnt improve he wont be able to go to the rest home of my choice as they cant handle behaviour problems. :((( so he will have to go to another hospital (private?) in Mangere which is not so convenient for me. I just wish his brain would deteriorate more so he would forget about coming home, in fact I even wish he would die as he is not the man I married and it is no life for him, or for me. MR ALZHEIMER I HATE YOU!

Huia.

Happy annivesary Ann and T have a lovely day, hope the sun shines....



love Jean xx

Nice to see you back Marilyn. Does your OH relise what he is letting himself in for,having you three sisters together in one house.
I don't know why everyone is moaning about the weather,it's absolutely lovely here. A bit windy,but sunny as well. Lovely drying weather.
Keep your chin up Huia. I know how hurt you must be feeling,about Phil,
but you are doing the right thing for him,and most importantly for yourself.
Have they done the assessment on him yet?.
Marie can you sing a bit louder please,my hearing is not what it was.
One day we will have to somehow get,you Ann and Huia singing together.
I am glad you got your other holiday sorted out Jean.
If we can get booked,we will be up in your neck of the woods very soon.
So watch out,we may pop in for a cuppa with you both.
