Today I was taking my wife over to Dalkeith to visit her Mum in the care home.
It would seem that the regulations are a little different in Scotland, compared to England.
My wife has been in a care home for just over 2 years, living with Alzheimer's and I have not seen her since August, apart from Facetime calls, and prior to that I was limited to 1/2 hour visits in a gazebo in the garden of the home, from the first lockdown onwards.
Whilst I do prefer the Facetime calls, rather than a basic telephone call, as I can make a visual judgement as how how she is feeling, I do know that she is very confused, just seeing my face on an Ipad and does not really understand what she is seeing, or what is going on.
I have to say, I'm finding it hard going at the moment, but try to keep myself busy with my various interests.
Although, even my visits to my model club, the Birmingham SME, have now been stopped due to the latest change in the regulations.
