Oh popeye, I am so proud to know you.
When my Mum was in her first rest home there were major problems, her things were stolen, she was smacked, and her false teeth and glasses were removed or 'lost'. Staff laughed at the dementia patients and bullied them, and it was an education, and a learning curve discovering what I could do to help her, and what I couldn't do. It is an incredibly difficult part of life and it still haunts me a bit. Look after yourself, it can be very debilitating, fighting these battles.
About the sock thingamie, it works fine, if you have ankles. I only have one that works so that other foot is a fixed right angle, no pointing toes anymore. That's what makes socks a challenge, and why the bigger more stretchy ones work so well, especially on carpet, and with a bit of help from the hook on my long shoe horn.
Wore my new boots yesterday and today, with a couple of pairs of Ali's beautiful socks, very comfy, and well worth the twenty minutes it takes to get organised, lol. I love Autumn...
