I moved back to Melbourne easter weekend.

Since then, iv had about 15 job interviews/trials, with all of them saying I’ll definitely have work with them.  Ones came through with the goods, but only offering 5hrs a week..

Come on already!!!

So devo right now..

Yesterday was my the anniversary of my dad passing away, and to make it worse.. My 76yo nanna, (who has dementia, as a result of multiple strokes) decided to sneak out of the house (she lives with my uncle who is her full time carer) wt 4am and go for a walk, on which she fell over.. Resulting in a fractured foot/heel/ankle, broken fingers, taking the skin off the back of her head, (and her medication thins her blood) and to top all that off, a heart attack.. 

So I spent all of yesterday afternoon at the hospital, on dads anniversary, with my Nan, who is on dnr orders if there are any complications, talking to her with the family, while she stares blankly past you, because she knows you.. But she just can’t quite remember how she knows you…    downer

Thanks so much for the well wishes everyone.. its nice to know people care!.. just playing the waiting game now,, to see how she is.. she still has no idea where she is, and doesn’t really recognise us too much..  but she is moving around and eating ok, which is good,

And Bnd, that’s the exact reason we go to see her, there has been at least one of us there with her every minute of visiting hours since she was admitted,  she’s in a room with 3 other people and I haven’t seen any one visit them, which is quite sad :( family should come first and mean everything,

Funny Story H0z

My Gran also had dementia and during her last month my sister went to see her with my nephew (so her great grandchild)

Anyway she had no idea who my sister was thought she was just some random visiting the nursing home.

But my Gran told her that if she ever wanted to “do a spot of shopping” she could leave the baby with her for the day!

So cute. And the funny thing was I don’t think she ever offered the same to my mum when we were kids!

So out of character but so nice at the same time.
