Wow- what overwhelming responses Thank you all so much
I went up to the hospital last night and said to Gran that, when she's back in the nursing home and settled, I will be taking a few days off because I am exhausted. I told her that I wouldn't be saying this to her unless I was desperate and I think she took it on board (I think she was more willing because I told her I'd let her sister know what I'd be doing and try to get her to 'replace' me for those days). Whether she actually does or not, I don't know.
I know you're all right- I need to just grow a pair and not leave it up for discussion with her.
Gillette- I bring my fiance with me one day over the weekend, usually (unfortunately, he finishes work much later than I do during the week and can't make it up to the home with me to visit then). It definitely puts a different spin on things when he's there with me- she doesn't say anything upsetting when he's around, that's for sure.
She's meant to be coming out of hospital today so we'll see what happens.
Thanks guys- so, so much xx
