Family stuff.
My grandmother has alzheimer’s and after a lapse in her care by her rest home and her hospital, resulting in fall and a collapsed vertebrae, she has been given about six months to live. Obviously this is hard on my family, particularly my grandfather, my Mum and her siblings. And also for me, it hasn’t been easy seeing her Alzheimer’s steadily get worse, and for her state of mind, and comfort in her last few years be compromised and reduced because of a huge lapse in her care.. makes it even harder to deal with.
My role is largely a supporting one, doing research into things so that we can lay a complaint and ensure what care she has now is up to standard.
So yeah, that’s why. I miss things here and hope to be back and a bit more active this Friday, once my work finishes up for the holidays.

That sucks man. I really can’t think of anything else to put to say what I mean, but I am sorry. Family issues like that are hard.

*hugs* That’s absolutely dreadful! Bad enough that she’s not well, but even worse that it’s someone else’s error that’s led to the worsening of her condition.
I hope that everything works out okay for you all. My thoughts will be with you and your family.
