Iris

Triptych of the naughtiest kitten with the goddess name. One thing is sure, she can not fly, but she can definitely climb !
For Wild Wednesday with thanks as always to Cailleach !

Tomorrow’s optional theme for AbstractThursday is ‘serene’ , think of something that is soothing, calming, soft colours etc. We could certainly use some serenity, it is so hard to find a solution for Mum, she is recuperating a bit, is capable of getting up by herself and walking from the living room to the kitchen or bathroom with the rollator, but she tires so easily and is generally exhausted. Like in The Netherlands and probably in the UK there are long waiting lists for rehabilitation clinics, care homes and the likes. All she wants is to go back to her flat, but that would be asking for more trouble. On her own she won’t eat and drink enough and will not take the right meds at the right time. She’s been recuperating here at my sister’s house with all three of us taking care that she eats enough vegetables and fruits and drinks lots of water. But she needs to be seen by a doctor and her blood and urine investigated again because something is very wrong. The trouble is that health care in Italy is different per province, and Mum’s flat is in another province. Getting a carer for her either here or in her own region while the whole of Italy will go on holiday in the next three weeks will be very difficult. Taking her with us to The Netherlands is not so easy either and would be a lot of red tape again as she hasn’t lived there for 51 years. Besides us and one nephew and his family she won’t know anybody and I know it isn’t right to uproot older people. So much to worry about.
