Would you rest your legs on a stranger?

apologies for spelling and grammar, IOS 7 does not like blogger! If the answer is no, you are not my dad. But then again if you are reading this you are not my dad either. Today has been trying. The reality of the cost of permanent care has hit my mum. She can't understand why she should use her meager savings to pay, that is my funeral money she kept saying. I'm getting a solicitor . They can't take that. Now granted mum has planned almost state funerals for both of them but even so she does have a point. Pay to the point of poverty is just wrong. So all the way there she was bringing home home, despite the fact so is not mentally or physically possible of doing this. But, onto dad. Today was a bad day. His memory is appalling to the point after his brew and biscuit when I asked him to brush away crumbs, he asked why I threw them at him. He has virtually no short term memory left. But his long term is fading fast. He thinks he lives with mum and asked why she had gone to the shop, and when I asked what is for tea, his answer. Whatever mum makes. But he was happy and having a laugh with the care staff, they are really good with him. On leaving mum asked do he want to come home. No, I am fine here said dad. yes, she was upset!he had no idea what she meant as he thinks he still lives with her having a goldfish memory. Even though is is getting worst and more physically frail, he is still a happy man. Tries to entertain and apparently has good manners. That is unless you happen to be sat opposite him and he is sleepy, when apparently he nudges your legs a few times to move. If you don't he simply puts his legs on your lap and goes to sleep!!! Excellent!!!
