Totally Changed Person.........

[Jeza]

Since Mic had his stroke he is a different person. Before it he was a helpful, hard working loving husband. Now he is bad tempered and often aggressive. I've been bitten, punched and had some of my hair pulled out. I know this is not the Mic I knew. I am now on my guard all the time and often step back from him when I sense his moods. I also realise most of this is borne from his frustration as to things he wants to do but can't.

The point of my post is, when I see on the news about care homes where some of the staff treat the patients badly I now can see why. I am not in any way condoning their behaviour but beginning to understand it. I find it hard to walk away at times when he threatens and swears at me. So how must they feel when it is not even a family member. The people who do that job must be truly dedicated to their work. The bad apples need throwing out. Although I know the time will come when Mic should be in a home I will be very reluctant to do it. Ratters thoughts will be interesting.

You too, Jeza; don't smoke here - well maybe my brain does from time to time, as tonight!

I stopped smoking years ago. Only started again with Mics illness. Don't smoke much but it does calm me when I get stressed.
