Dementia and my mum......Lifes struggles

Things are moving very slowly . The physio has told me that if they can get my mums pain under control they can move her a bit more. Willy my brother has been going to visit her on a daily basis, thank goodness .It is not easy when you live far away. You can't just pop along .
   I think the hospital want to get mum home , but , there is no way this is happening if she's not able to be safe. My wee mum didn't live all these years just to be dumped on the scrap heap by a bunch of people who were "just doing their job". Imagine the kind of society where people are no longer cared for because they are to old . Have you ever imagined anything so distasteful. Its no better than leaving a small child to fend for itself . My mum is now sat in a chair , in a hospital ward , wondering if she will ever have her own space ever again. I find the whole thing quite depressing , all of lives struggles and pain and disappointments and achievements , what are they for.....
