Day #15 > SATURDAY 7th NOVEMBER A very quiet day. Weather gorgeous. Mum ok walking but she said she felt short of breath walking up the hill, but no need to stop. Bob is trying to be more talkative & attentive, but such a low starting point it’s barely noticeable . . . I have noticed […]
Day #14 > FRIDAY 6th NOVEMBER I’m downstairs later than usual as I’m chatting with Lia till 9.30am; I make a coffee & all seems civilised. Mum & I walk Abel – no dizziness – & I run though how she’s feeling & we end up talking a lot about Bob; how he’s cold towards her but he […]
Day #13 > THURSDAY 5th NOVEMBER I hear Mum shout out in the night. I listen attentively but after Bob speaks it all goes quiet again. Bad dream? Is the lack of anti-depressants kicking in after two days without them? All’s ok when I come down – phew, no bruises! – but I cannot find Mum’s neck […]
Day #12 > WEDNESDAY 4th NOVEMBER Morning walk with Mum – all good, except the daily ‘where’s your collar Mum?’ routine. No dizziness & Mum’s as sharp as a pin – which is a joy to see. Once back from our work I discuss Mum’s meds with Bob, as she has not had her daytime anti-depressants […]
Day #11 > TUESDAY 3rd NOVEMBER Up around 08:45 & Mum & I walk Abel. She thinks I am another Tim & Bob is another Bob. I give her my truth but she is not convinced. We go through how I found her originally & she lights up. Good. This does seem to work. But hold on a […]
Day #10 > MONDAY 2nd NOVEMBER Up early for docs visit. Walk Abel. Mum ok & not dizzy – hoorah! I remind her that I intend to tell the doc all I’ve seen & she agrees that the truth needs to be told. We leave at 8.30am & there’s zero traffic – Bob is very surprised, but […]
Day #09 > SUNDAY 1st NOVEMBER Up early as I was visiting Fort Mill for Church – nearly two hours away – so got downstairs at 7.45am & had a quick coffee with Mum & Bob in the den – Bob was watching the Grand Prix on TV. Mum seemed a little unsure of where home was – […]
Day #08 > SATURDAY 31st OCTOBER Halloweeen. Ooooh. Mum & I walked Abel around 9.30am – after the usual Hunt the Collar game; it was cold & Mum thought there were many Bobs & Tims again. BUT BUT BUT she said she felt good & fit & had slept very well – so first day without alcohol […]
Day #07 > FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER Mum thought a number of Tims & Bobs were here this morning. Suffering the after-effects of the night before & said she had a slight headache over her left eye & was imagining other people in the house. Oh my. Our daily search for her collar ensued – as […]
Day #06 > THURSDAY 29th OCTOBER Mum very confused this morning but we had a good chat whilst walking the dog & as she seemed to return to reality I asked her what happened last night. She said she was frustrated with Bob but couldn’t remember exactly so I told her everything exactly as it happened from my […]
