Gotta be honest, when permanent care was originally suggested for my husband, I said that we didn't have royal or rock star status and we just couldn't afford it. Howbeit, the care plan went ahead. We share the payments with the LA and so far, I only have to learn to manage paying the bills, ramped up now because of the care. But we manage. The one thing I'm grateful for is that hubby will never know what happened to me. It isn't bad, and I can't complain. Husband probably would if he could, but I'm just grateful things have worked out as they have, so far.
Not properly settled yet, but I'm hanging in there. Only another £400 to find until the next bill comes in! We'll make it.
