Thanks for the advice and I have started another thread. Hope your shopping trip went well. It’s sunny here but really cold. OH gone out with the daycare to Gainsborough will be home about 4.30. Yesterday evening was complete opposite to the night before. Sat calmly in the chair until 10pm- occasionally nodding off. At least each day is full of surprises. Keep smiling- if we didn’t we would spend our day in tears!
Sounds like a wearing day so here’s to a peaceful evening for you both. Not looking good here for peace. Came back at about 5 and chaotic since then. Socks on and off, shoes on and off. Up and down out of chair. Upstairs and downstairs and it’s still only 6pm x
Hi. How has your day been. PH has been out walking with a friend this morning and then this afternoon for a walk with a different friend. So I managed volunteering at our local hospice this morning and a physio appt this afternoon. We are out for lunch tomorrow and then to the memory cafe in the afternoon. Does your OH sometimes struggle with walking? I find he walks much slower these days. Here’s to a calm evening
Not been the best of weeks but next week is a new week/challenge Not sure if routine has been changed with my sister being here. Out to theatre with our daughter tomorrow afternoon so leaving my sister in charge!! . Here’s hoping you have a good weekend. Thinking of you
Calendar Girls was fantastic and then a meal before home at 7.30pm. My sister said he had been fine until I got home!!! He had looked for me a couple of times but had spent a lot of time colouring. I think he was cross that I had been out without him. My sister goes home tomorrow and I will really miss her- good support and good conversation. Having great trouble getting him to wear slippers in the house as he is insisting he wear shoes which we have never done. Glad you had a nice time today and hope tomorrow’s birthday goes well. Have a good sleep- hopefullyHello well what day ..we went out at 8.30am back at 3pm .OH asleep by 3.15pm on sofa .if only I could do that .
A nice day out with a lunch but a crying child got to him .
I forgot to buy him at present for his 71st tomorrow
Although we visited a xmas shop and he chose a decorated glass Robin bell .I can only hope he can remember it at xmas.
Some family members are calling tomorrow for cake and coffee .
Did all go well with you and I hope you enjoyed your trip .I think it will be early to bed tonight and it will be me not him asking .
Was he aware it was his birthday. When we start our caring roll I don’t think we had any idea of the impact on our lives. I really Try not to feel resentful about it but don’t always succeed!!! My sister is on her way home to the south coast and I will really miss the conversation and support she has been. I did manage to relax yesterday knowing she (ex nurse) was with him. Been out to chatsworth this morning with our daughter and SIL. The inevitable coffee and CAKE!! Oh my word - the slippers have just gone on. Wishing you a peaceful evening/night
I know what you mean about photos and when I take them he looks so HEALTHY and you can’t believe there is anything wrong. Ime the one that looks haggard!! Big hug from me x
That is so strange. My hubby started going down to the downstairs loo in the night. I collect all keys up into a pouch at night and take upstairs. Also my local council fitted us some door sensors with a remote that I take up to bed with me. It buzzes if an external door opens. Every other Monday some long standing friends come for tea but she brings the main course and pud every time which is lovely. My OH used to have impeccable table manners but now starts eating as soon as he has his food whereas he would always wait until everyone else had their food. Also as soon as he has finished starts clearing plates away and I usually have to say people are still eating. It’s just not him!!!- but what is? It is like being a parent again but I think children take the criticism/comments much better. Hope you have a good might
