It’s been a while since I last posted an update, and a lot has happened in the meantime. As some of you know it has been almost two years since we returned to Scotland to help care for my Mum due to her dementia diagnosis. This has brought its fair share of challenges.
Two months ago, things took another turn when Mum fell and broke her hip which resulted in surgery. It has been a whirlwind of activity since then, with two different hospital stays and plenty of ups and downs along the way.
In consultation with medical professionals and extended family, we decided that moving Mum into a care home would be the best thing for her. Last week, we made the transition, and while it has been an emotional and challenging time for all of us, we know it's the right step for her care and well-being.
The staff at the care home have been supportive and helpful so far, and Mum is slowly getting used to her new surroundings. It’s hard to see her go through this, but we are hopeful that this new chapter will give her the care and support that she needs.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to support us during this time.
