There's no rush Dio, don't do it til you feel ready. It's hard, emotionally and physically to clear through a family home.
LG if you need somewhere to stay don't forget I'm only half an hour up the motorway from Bristol.
And to everyone on this thread coping with immense challenges, you're all being stars, even if you don't always believe that

Aw thanks LD
My sister has just been in to see him and sent a photo so I will phone her later. He looks quite well considering but he wasn’t sure who my sister was….I suppose a year is a long time for someone with dementia
Dio , if you don’t have to rush then don’t (( ))

No rush, but I do want to get it all done as soon as possible so I can then forget all about it.

Hugs to all in want and need.
Family is being a right royal P.I.T.A to dad - confiding in him and swearing him to not inform x, y, or z of this and/or that ~ generally sidelining the person who really _should_ be dealing with it rather than dad! Fortunately he's talking to me (I generally don't talk to the rest of the family anyway 😉 ) which, hopefully is lessening his stress level and therefore not adding much to my own 🤣 .
I'm of the opinion that much of the stuff he's sworn to secrecy over is complete bull dust (I've got family which naturally conceived and took to full term, a healthy child ... after hubby had had both chemo and radiotherapy 😉 ... ). But it could all be true, I guess ... 🤔 multiverse theory and all that 😉

After two days of the NHS assessing my mother’s leg over the phone someone came out and saw it in the flesh today. Outcome is that she is headed to the hospital for an assessment this afternoon and likely to be admitted for more IV antibiotics. My brother is buying some ready meals for my father which means he’ll be fed but no idea how he is going to manage a cup of tea when he struggles to see what he is pouring.

Very confused call with my mum last night in which she suggested she is going to be put on insulin at home and the district nurse will teach her how to do it.
Now thinking how to handle it. If that really is the GP's plan i am going to think of a polite way to ask them if they happened to be off sick for the bit of med school where you actually meet real life patients. It's preposterous and wholly unsafe.
