Hi there,
My name is Bernie (female variety
), I care for my mother who is 93 and was diagnosed with altzheimers in 2005, well actually it was 2006 by the time we finished fighting to get the Dr to actually believe that there was something wrong but that is beside the point. I have been caring for Mum since 2005, I dont really do chatting on line but as I am sure a boat load of you know sometimes it is imperitive that you have somebody who knows just how frustrating this can be. I do have people who come in to help bathe mum and to sit with mum so that I can escape sometimes but I thought that I would give this a go and see how it goes. So, 'Hello' to all you fellow carers, I hope that your day has not been too fraught!

My Mum also has Alzheimers and trying to hold a conversation with her these days is like trying to run up hill wearing hobnail boots - hard going
