DAY #03 > MONDAY 26th OCTOBER
I spend the day simply observing & trying to be of some use along with simply catching up & chitty-chatting with Mum.
Gave Abel another Frontline dosing along with the carpets, as the previous treatment didn’t appear to make too much difference as he & the carpet are still crawling with the things, plus of course we walked him first thing – which seems to be a great time to gauge how Mum’s doing away from the all-encompassing Bob.
Noted today that it’s still a massive effort to get Mum’s collar on, as Bob’s standard response is: ‘she doesn’t want to wear it.’ I counter that that simply not being good enough, as care involves being proactive & ensuring that Mum is protected, regardless, as who would actually want to wear the collar?! Falls on deaf ears . . .
Wine with dinner. Again. Not a beer in sight for Mum, although Bob chugs them down for breakfast along with whisky. Ouch.
It’s odd, that even on only Day #03, it’s clear to see that Bob has no issue at all in ordering Mum to do anything that would benefit him, but is unable to do something that would benefit her . . . Mmmm.
