I ...So sorry to hear about your grandmother, Ellie. I think any long term illness must be difficult for the family to cope with, but Alzheimers seems especially tough. <BR/><BR/>As a crew going into a house to deal with an acute situation, we only get the briefest of brief insights into what things must have been like. In Stella's case, it was obvious that her mother had had a loving home in her last years, in circumstances that were terribly difficult for everyone, and a particular strain on Stella. <BR/>If I ever fell ill in the same way, I hope that I'd get such good care. <BR/><BR/>I hope everything's good with you now, Ellie, and thanks for your comments.
