Tuesday
As well as all the kerfuffle around speaking to management and staff at The Home, I did actually get to see Mum.
It took me three attempts to get any response from her at all today. I think she knew it was me but I wasn’t sure.
She wasn’t interested in talking or being read to. The only thing she said was
“Sit beside me.”
So I did. For a few minutes at least.
She fell asleep really quickly though and when three attempts to get a response all failed, I left.
Author’s Note
My Mum is in a nursing home in a small village in the Thames Valley. The photo is not of the home. I used an AI image generator to give the reader some idea of the home she’s in.
All, some or maybe even none (you’ll never know!) of the names have been changed to protect privacy and hide real identities. If you think you recognise someone then let me know and I’ll edit the post or remove it entirely
