Okay. So. Last week's blog post on how to do this stuff...yes, I had to use humour.
But there was a message in there. Hit. Run. If you are a carer and you want to blog about the process, find the time. Appear, magically, do your thing on the blog, then vanish as mysteriously as you arrived.
I just ran a bath. That bath is being used by the cared-for. Meanwhile, a few steps away, in this converted office, I, the carer, am rattling off a blog post about how to rattle off a blog post.
More than that. This is next week's blog post, in case shit happens during the days ahead. As soon as I publish one post, I write another.
In the interests of brevity, I will kill this post off as soon as that bath ends. We'll get into the process of taking pills and having breakfast shortly thereafter, and pills must be consumed in my presence or not at all.
Given the consequences of not at all, I'm going with the more popular in my presence.
Back to it...and that's how to blog about being a dementia carer. Hit. Run. Arrange some of it ahead of time. Keep a sense of humour burning: set fire to comedians.
