.... Sam make sure you get the proper rest just take it easy for a little while
I know easier said than done.
Evening
@rosy18
I was struggling trying to make mums bed & S popped in on her way home from work, ran the hoover round, while I mopped the kitchen floor. I was so grateful I hugged her lol
I’m looking forward to getting my hand back, more practice in Poppet & then driving off. It’ll be nice to drive up, walk in, chat & mooch, then walk out to sleep. No unpacking. No stress. No worries about her finding the loo etc. I don’t mind driving at night, so if I’m too liberal with the CM, I can process it during the day & drive off later lol. I’m looking forward to visiting Blackpool, who knows,
@Margi29 might join us & we can girly chat, while our mums chat. Mumbles love that, she can play nurse to your Mum, like she did in hospital to the other ladies on her ward!!
Ive been thinking today, about Mum, the disease & my health. I think we get drip drip dripped into it, so many tiny changes, that we sort of don’t notice until we have to stop for one reason or another. Then it’s a shock to realise just how things have changed. Tucking Mum into bed, turning off her light & making sure she has clear walk way to the bathroom is second nature, but a year ago if I’d suddenly had to do it, I’d have felt very strange doing it. The Fitbit tells me it’s months since I had over 5 hours sleep. It seems normal to me now, in fact getting 7 1/2 hours sleep on Friday was strange. I feel I could take in the world after so much sleep.
I do appreciate the carers, but I wish I could have a lie in, especially on those nights when I’m still wide awake at 03.00. Some look at me like I’m the laziest person on earth as I stagger around, obviously just git up, while others tell me they could not do it 24/7. Professional experienced carers saying I’m doing well is a high boost, looking at me like I’m useless is not :-(
I am trying to rest, it’s jyst not easy as everything takes 3 times as long to do
Say hi to your mum from me
