[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 154174, member: 3419"] Jo, I'm glad we can be here for you. Sometimes we need help, other times we offer it. No big deal. You've got a lot on your plate. I remember reading about Monkeyboy b4. Sigh. He's still in the picture. So sorry about finding the bong, etc. in your daughter's rm. Glad she didn't raise a fuss when it was missing. :) I'm glad you're going to the gym and taking care of your body. At least someone in the family is trying to be healthy! Try to remember that your mother's dementia is not something she's doing on purpose. It's an organic thing that she cannot control. I often play little games with-my dad and in my mind, I pretend he's a toddler so that when I have to repeat the same thing for the 20-bazillionth time, I won't go insane. Luckily, he still has his sense of humor and realizes he's losing it sometimes and makes a joke out of it. Occasionally he gets angry but his antidpressants really help with-that. SO sorry about your H. That is so difficult. I hope you have a long-term plan in place to move out or get your H to move out. Once the waiting list opens up and your mom is settled it will really help you focus on other things. (Warning: expect calls from the retirement home... they're not perfect and there will be times when you have to run over there at the drop of a hat.) Hugs. Take care of yourself. I'm glad we can be here for you. [/QUOTE]
