You are still IT

Even when your loved one is in a home you are still IT.

Today the nurse at the home rang the doctor's surgery who then rang me. Upshot is I have to take him to the doctor's tomorrow. Of course that will write off the afternoon. George is still going to our doctor.

In the home Mum was going to the doctor associated with the home. Quite a few times I was asked to go in to see the doctor with Mum. You always need to be available for their needs it is not a case of putting them into care and then just going in once a week or once a fortnight. You frequently get calls regarding all sorts of things relating to them and that was even with me in and out of Mum's home like a jack in the box.
