We are home from our lovely stay in Norfolk, so relaxing, a few accidents, but nothing major. Our son was amazing, our daughter was amazing, she helped us get down to Norfolk, before she went home and Peter arrived, got sent out on Tuesday told to go out, and have some time for myself. Peter our son was so good with George he saw for himself how George had declined., the coughing and choking was horrible, Pete was frightened to see his dad choking.

We had a really lovely break lovely holiday barn, felt like as a family we could spend some quality time.

Last night George was very agitated up most of the night, welcomed us back to the really world of PSP!!!!!!! We have all come home tired but happy, ready to fight another day. Love to you all Yvonne xxxxx

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. ... So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’. ... Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Matthew 6:34

No better words than what you and the Bible has to say about worry.....so AMEN, Anne, Amen

Pat always thinking about you, hope you are ok, and getting out a bit xxxx sending you a big hug . Yvonne xxxx

[Patriciapmr in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

I'm not too bad thanks Yvonne but we've had another tragedy in the family, my sisters 62 year old husband passed away suddenly 11 days ago, he had been poorly for quite a while but it was totally unexpected! She's in a mess as you can imagine , I'm dreading the funeral, she's been such a great support to me and I only hope I can be the same for her. To top it all my 88 year old Dad has been immobile and housebound for the past 5 weeks, he's very demanding so that has been a strain for me as well!

Sorry I'm moaning but I get so stressed out with it all!😩xx

[doglington in reply to Patriciapmr]

Oh, Pat. Sorry you have so much on your plate. It is stressful for you. Love from Jean xx

[Patriciapmr in reply to doglington]

Thank you Jean, how are you? xx

[doglington in reply to Patriciapmr]

Hanging in there !!! xx

[vlh4444 in reply to doglington]

Do hope you are managing OK Jean. My love to you both.

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Patriciapmr]

Oh Pat sorry to hear that you are dealing with so much at the moment, I am sure you will be a rock for your sister, wish I could just pick you up and whisk you away. Big hugs Yvonne xx x

[Patriciapmr in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

So do I Yvonne, so do I, just feel like disappearing! xx

Thank you Andrea xxxx

[Julieandrog]

Hi

So glad you had a break, was the àccomodation mobility friendly? If so i would be interested iñ details

Julie

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Julieandrog]

It had a few steps but easy enough to get the wheelchair in, we had to give George a bed bath, there was a shower but glass panel we thought to dangerous to attempt getting him in there. Xxxxx

[Julieandrog in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

I'm still clinging to the hope we might get away together but realistically now what with hospital bed ,continence issues ,catheter unpredictability and the list goes on and on ! I think i have to accept, no regrets mind we have travelled the world and had wonderful times.

X

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Julieandrog]

Yes Julie felt the same we managed to do everything it was hard, George has a catheter, took a good quality mattress protector, are retirement was going to be traveling and doing what we wanted to do, George really wanted to go to Russia but never got there, we were going to build a house in the mountains in Cyprus, plans done but George got this bloody awful PSP and it took everything away. Yvonne xxxx

[doglington in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Thats hard, Yvonne. It must be so hard to have been cheated of your dreams.

Like Julie , we travelled a lot and have wonderful memories. Always more to do but had a good roll of the dice. We won't get away together any more.

love, Jean xx

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to doglington]

We have been cheated Jean, are longest trip was going to Australia on a cruise seeing many lovely place, our son was in Australia and we wanted to make sure he was ok. Feel lucky to have done it. Xxxx

[doglington in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Praise be you managed that !!!

xxx

[Tippyleaf]

So pleased it was a successful break (bar the little mishaps). It is good your son and daughter saw the level of their dad's needs too. How lovely you got a day out too. Hope everything settles down soon.

Love Tippy

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Tippyleaf]

Tippy we are lucky to have our children, they have been supportive over the last few years. Xxxxx
