The only thing I can think of is maybe she has said come on Dad let's get you home as you don't want to go into care as some encouragement to get him fighting as I truly believe that even she would not say right Dad if your not careful you could end up in a home.

All I know is he was really quite low and depressed at the thought if not getting home thankfully he now knows or seems to believe us when I say no Dad you will see your house again, honestly it was heartbreaking. He does seem very mistrusting at times.
This is very worrying for you Weenie and your Dad too, I hope things work out ok for him and yourself , Hugs

My dad love BGT, I despise this shower.

Now he's discovered Ireland Gots Talent.

Please shoot me in the head.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I have been to see a Specialist about the constant ringing in my years, He said my right ear is blocked with wax, So I put Olive Oil in it today and the nurse will syringe it the end of the week, At present my ears are worse can hardly hear a thing except buzzing. Driving me nuts, I go back to the specialist in four weeks for a hearing test and a Tinites test. But just feel today I could scream,

I've lived with tinnitus all my life, luckily it is usually bearable but when it does flare up it can be really annoying and can stay like that 24hrs, usually waking up in the morning with normal levels of it again, there is NO cure for tinnitus i am afraid.

I have suffered tinnitus for 30 years. Nothing helps except for blasting the same sound through headphones for a few seconds. A few hours' respite then.

I used this software to make a copy of what my Tinnitus sounds like, then copied it to an old MP3 player.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I tend to use pink noise to block mine out for a bit (white noise tends to make mine worse so does anything high pitch). But the key is to find out the triggers. For me smoking was the thing that made it a lot worse, then caffeine, loud noises/music, stress, and high blood pressure. Been coping for best part of 10-15 years now, some days can be bad where I have to be slightly sedated and some days you just forget it is there.

I'd rather dangle my wet plums on an electric fench than watch that crap, and he' knows that I hate BGT type shows.

Yours sounds really bad, eating the wrong food triggers mine to get worse, I have loud noise at work, luckily that doesnt make it worse than normal levels.

It's a shame there is no operation to fix it, what I understand is the brain causes it when it tries to correct the hearing so there is no tissue to operate on, it would be nice to be able to pop a pill to turn it off though!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

This should be a happy thought but it's not my Dad is getting out of hospital on Friday so why is this on this page well I'm left to do it all again food shopping, waiting in for Dad getting home, buying the nurses gifts etc why because that waste of skin of a sister is away this week and tbh it really does not surprise me in the slightest.

Trouble is that I'm close to running on empty, I hate yes hate the situation I'm constantly put in....not looking for any praise but a thank you would be nice or can you do this but no it's just expected.

I walked out of the hospital last night as when visiting my Dad my sister called our Dad and I just thought it was so very ignorant not that he took the call but the fact that 10 minutes later he was still talking so I just said bye Dad then when I got to the car I put my phone off so he could not call me as I was fizzing mad tbh.

Hubby could tell something was wrong and when I told him he thought this was the most ignorant thing that anyone could do when someone has driven 25 minutes to visit them in hospital is to take and continue a call.

I admit I'm battling with some very negative thoughts atm I really do think it is possible to hate and love at the same time

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Sorry to hear of your woes weenie. Stay strong.

My moan: Whatever has happened to washing powder tablets? I can't find any in my local supermarket. There's powder and loads of pod things but no tablets of any brand. Factory burn down or something.

We are great fans of washing detergent sheets produced by Dizolve. Sadly no longer distributed in the UK, and even their distributor has vanished.

No, just temporary respite, especially for dropping off to sleep after a hectic day. Mine is there all the time, but stress makes me more aware of it.
