Dear @Maggie
Thanks so much for your lovely posts here since you've recently returned. I do apologise for not posting on your own thread. Things have been hectic of late, and I havent been travelling too well. Then I saw my psych yesterday and as is usual for me, its taking a while to settle from that.
I did update my other Carers thread last week, which gives you a bit of an update on whats been happening here. If you're interested? I think I tagged you there when I did my last update, so you may well have already read it. I will eventually get around to updating this thread too. But as its mainly Carer related issues over the past month, it was the most appropriate place to post at the time. For now ... my own health needs to take a back seat. Not ideal I know, but no choice.
I really appreciate you taking the time to remind me that people here care. Thanks so much, you and others here too. I will update this thread soon, I hope.

Hi dear @Maggie, and others reading too.
Thanks for thinking of me, and I love the pic. Sloths I think? Certainly looks like they give great hugs.
Yes settling somewhat since my psych apt on Wednesday. She wants me to consider having another block of EMDR therapy. She always said that people often need a 'top up' after the initial treatment. She thinks I would benefit from it. She is looking ahead to next year of course, as I have no MHCP sessions left for this year anyway. And once into next year, its getting close to 'anniversary time' again. Not sure I want to. It may have longer term benefits, but it stirs things up at the time. Anyway I said I would consider it. I have another 'discounted' appointment with her in mid December, and I said I would let know what I thought about it then.
Mum and Dad sound as though they have settled into the Nursing Home, for the time being. Which is good, and a relief to all of us.
Hubby is experiencing wide fluctuations in his health with the new Parkinsons medication. Hoping in time it settles a bit, and that he has more better days and fewer of the bad ones. See the Neurologist again this Saturday and he may increase his medications further to get best result. Or he may change the meds to something else more effective?
How are you going Maggie? You havent said too much on your thread about where you're at in general, eg did you have another bout in hosptial, how is little Maggie-May, are you still in the same housing complex, etc. No need to answer that here, but I will look out for more on your thread. I'm pretty sure I havent missed anything.

Hi @Former-Member 
EMDR certainly drags up a lot of old memories so I can understand your resistance in doing it again.
It is good that your mum and dad have settled in and that they are getting the hel they need - that really must be such a relief for you ll right now with everything else you are desling with.
I hope there are more good days for hubby too - such a hard thing to be deling with but if the meds begin to help then that is wonderful.
I hope today is a little easier on you Hon
Thanks @Zoe7 and also @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Maggie @PixieJane and others. Its lovely that you still think of me, even though I havent been very active here in a while. Thank you to everyone .. its really nice that you care.
Sherry
