OK Sister I'm going to do a roll call thread for the PALS so it doesn't get too confused.
Nuts, I wondered why you were so quiet after that time to see your mum. Sometimes a good ramble can help, sometimes not. CALS have a tough journey in such a different way.
Please remember you can pm me if you can't rant publicly.
I learned so much from many that are no longer here my sister/brother CALS, and I'm trying to keep that alive. I am so glad it helps, I still remember vividly how I was as a CALS, like it was yesterday, some days I wake and it's odd to realise I'm not doing that anymore.
Gem, {{{grandies}}} lovely, enjoy. Great distraction of the real world as you know your husband is declining.
Pete, I love the fact that PALS and CALS are together on this forum. Places I go or have been a member where they are separate are important for many things. But the support here is unique, and we all need each other indeed.
OK that's a few, lots more CALS need to put their hands up, even if it's to say you are having a hard time and can't say much.
