Yesterday

I blew  my top at SS, the nurse came despite me telling her I did not want her to come at 11.30. Phoned social services and to cut a long story short I have cancelled the care. DB is still to have an assessment of his needs from OT, but to be honest we have grab rails etc all over the house, he walks with a stick, his gait is so much better and although he is slow, he is steady.

I have just put him through the shower, dried and helped him to dress, apart from his socks he really does it on his own. Still very tired which of course is to be expected after they kept him in bed for 3 weeks, so he has a siesta, in the afternoon, then goes through to bed about 8pm, I take him a drink when I go through at 9pm and he is asleep before 10.30pm.

I am coping ok, resting as much as I am able, its the washing up that gets to me. I wish I could get a dishwasher put in, it would help so much......hey ho.....No real room without spending a fortune on the kitchen which I am not prepared to do. It is not our house and the council would rip it out after we pass on or move out.

Tomoatos need watering, if it does not rain tonight I will have to water the pots. T and I cleared the patio so DB can sit out if he wants to. The Landscaper also came and took measurements for what I want doing in the back garden, he will send me a quote through, work to be done at the end of October.

Supper tonight will be a small ADB using bacon instead of gammon steaks. We finished the creme caramel last night, so may well us the raspberries I picked in a jelly, that will last a few days for dessert.
