Just caught up with your update.
Glad everythings going so well. You sound a natural!
I still get commodes or pads that make me heave, I keep extra strong mints in my pocket, pop one of those in your mouth, it helps.
Keep your professional armour on, but do remember it does have chinks in it so the good stuff can get through
. My OH and son get used to hearing stories about my antics with my oldies, and god knows I've had plenty of those. Even what might have seemed hard at the time all turns into happy memories of wonderful people.
I really don't think familes appreciate how much we care for our oldies and how much we remember them when they are gone.
If you look at our website...
www.rosecarefelixstowe.co.uk you'll see one of our oldies. That was Annie the Nanny, who lived at home, cared for by us, until she was 104. I always remember going to put her to bed, she had a leg lifter (a bit like a stiffened dog lead you hook over your foot to help you lift it into bed)... and every night she'd say she was going fishing with it, and every night she'd say 'No fish again, we'll have to have sausages!'.
Funny the things you remember.
