I look after my mum who's got dementia. My dad also died with dementia.
I am not very sensitive regarding most things dementia, it's a thing that people make jokes about and I tend to be of the attitude that people make jokes about everything and it'd be shitty to take offense just because it's personal to me, blah blah blah.
But this advert fucks me off, it's on all the time on stations my mum will watch, she doesn't know she has dementia so the advert doesn't bother her but it does actually really bother me, and makes me wonder whether I've got it "wrong".
Stating the obvious but it's a really horrible illness. I feel that the narrative about how awful it is being a carer for someone with dementia to be incredibly depressing, also people's resilience to the idea that as much as I wish I didn't have to, bringing or observing any moment of joy, no matter how small, feels very worthwhile to me and for my own mental health that is my focus. I know it's going to get worse but at the moment she does forget my name, can't walk or go to the toilet or eat, she thinks I'm someone else and the fucking refrain from that advert about the person dying every time they don't remember their name, or perform any other demented behaviour can get in the fucking bin.
All that said, obviously a powerful advert, if it raises money and helps with future progress then great, I guess I'm just not quite as peace with my mum's situation as I'd like to be

The thing with something like that is it might niggle now but presuming you want to carry on with training it'll be unlikely it just niggles forever.
I really do believe in try everything else remedial before you try surgery but sometimes getting in early can be the right answer. I climb a lot and know loads of people with good and bad stories to tell, but a couple of friends have had surgeries recently that have gone really well for them and have slightly changed how I feel about it

These people are pushing RC into something completely crazy. Can use them globally apparently. Mixture of crawling, racing but with feedback and fpv
