We celebrated mums 75th birthday last weekend. She had such a lovely day. As she is on a textured liquidized diet and can no longer eat solids, breads, cakes etc I had a special cheesecake made for her. We even played catch with balloons as my daughters had decorated the lounge for her. It hurts my heart to see mum the way she is now, but this was a happy memory I can always cherish 
Tried to upload photo but sadly I don't think it will work !
Opps putting years on my mum!! It was her 70th Birthday!! Thanks Alana for spotting it xx
Lovely photo, and so glad it was a great day - we certainly need to cherish such days. Also thanks for your kind remarks on your other blog about catching up.
Take care.

Hey Grandpa Lovely to hear from you my dear friend. Sounds like you and Mrs J have really been through it. That vertigo is a nasty thing and can last for some time. Can you or have you got some carers in to help you both during this time, gotta keep you both safe, especially from falls. I do so worry about you both. My mum also ended up in A&E last week with another oesophagus spasm, as I was stuck in bed with this damn fibromyalgia my wonderful husband and daughters followed the ambulance and stayed with her the whole time as they at the hospital can't understand what mum says either and the hospital have very little knowledge of PSP. I guess I'm never gonna live that down putting 5 years on mum, laughing here as I type. I'm forever getting things mixed up, my family think its "cute", but that's polite for calling me a bloody idiot lol. It's the humour that keeps us all going.
Well done you for coping really well with getting your wife to hospital, please keep me up to date on how things are going.
Keep safe my lovely
Lots of love

Thanks Kathy, it's the small things like that makes me so happy to see my mum smile and giggle, she's very poorly now and we are trying to cram lots of good days for her. I can't manage to take her out on my own anymore as she can't walk so need help. Her residential home have really got on board and have arranged to take her to two theatre trips, so lots for her to look forward to How are things with you my lovely?
Love & Hugs

I'm not too bad thanks, hon! Mum is not so good 
she sleeps a lot and feeding is a struggle. She can't walk at all now and is hoisted from bed to chair and back again
She's still at home with dad (who is an absolute trooper!!) and the plan is to keep her there! Sounds like your Mum is in a lovely home.
take care
love Kathy x
