Hi Everyone
I'm Sue and I look after my Mum who is 96 on Sunday. She is totally compos mentis, has a better memory and better eyesight than me but is very disabled and now pretty much housebound. She lives in the downstairs flat of our house. We have a pretty good care plan which covers all her personal care but I am responsible for everything else. I have a great husband who is very supportive as he was brought up in a disabled family, we have 3 grown-up children, our eldest son and his wife made us grandparents just before Christmas, our daughter gets married to a great guy in August and our younger son has a lovely girlfriend who we hope is permanent.
I also rant and rave at times and can get really, really angry with the "establishment" but at the moment am feeling quite calm which is why I have decided to say 'Hello' to you all now and say how much I am looking forward to getting to know at least some of you.

You will find lots of support from people who understand you and we are occasionally completely crazy, so lots to keep you smiling and ranting all in one day
