Hi I care for my mum with moderate Alzheimer's I work full time too. I love her to bits and wouldn't not care for her but I feel so guilty if I go away for a few days even though I put extra care calls in. I am due to go out the country for 3 nights in a couple of weeks and always get so worried. This is being made worse at the moment due to ongoing Uti's which are really knocking her off her feet hopefully next week they will agree to a low dose anti biotic to prevent these as I seem to be forever taking in urine samples they say there are traces of protein do nothing and within 2 weeks I have had to ring for an ambulance because she is so weak and has an awful uti. The difference after a few anti biotics is amazing it's just they are so slow to give them out. Anyway now I don't know whether to go on my break
sorry am rambling so much to say .... I have a brother and sister but they do nothing on a practical level I have sorted social workers care plan DlA appointments etc etc anyone else have family but feel alone??? Anyway Hello and what I have already been reading helps
