good morning @MaNaAk thank you, i do try my best not to fall as it hurts. paints all dry which is my usual trick to lean on wet paint. we are using vinyl silk as it doesnt smell or take so long drying as gloss does.
its not too bad as my son tells me to go and supervise from a distance and sit down. hes very tidy as well. my husband likes the company as my son is really good with him and they both like winding me up. i can give it back though
i am pleased as its the first time ive put the whole thing together with matching stuff and co-ordinating it all. i get a lot of stick with the both of them feeding off each other. i told them i had ordered grey and they said that will be purple then!! they have a very dry sense of humour.
he got up this morning and he was wobbling all over the place when he walked. he said he feels a bit strange. he then had the shakes especially in his hands. hes not hot or shivery. he went out yesterday which tires him out and had a late night last night as we were minding my neighbours dog. he went out to have a ride my sons new car but hes eaten and had meds. could it just be down to tiredness?
Mmm...... could be, but Id want to check its not an infection. OH doesnt get a temperature when he gets an infection, but he loses mobility and gets the shakes.
he has woken up and not shaking now. ive asked if he feels there is any problems, waterworks etc and i havent notice anything different and he feels better. i will keep my eye on him. hes more alert so could be low sugar levels and hes just eaten again. hes diabetic.
thank you @Mum mo some of the thread is from last year. he has been having memantine since then and has improved to the point that hes not aggressive and happier. support on the other hand was not forth coming to any degree and i worked through it myself with the help of this forum. ive got the added bonus of being housebound although i now have a mobility scooter that i go out on for a break and he goes to mens shed so i get a break then as well.
the mens shed has opened back up on a monday so i have 2 mornings without him. i tried not to cheer and look happy but failed miserably. my son is taking my old stereo in so they can party. they have been waiting for the electrics to be installed. after my son and his family visit, he was tired but proudly said he had not fallen asleep. my son did the cooking and it was lovely and grandson cut my back lawn and cut in the path.
im very lucky.
im very lucky.
they are really good with my husband as well, my son especially uses humour a lot. they are both very dry. hes been doing the decorating as well. my husband was told to sort out his wife as i was interfering with peeling carrots. to supervise in another room. my daughter does his dossett boxes and orders all his meds as she is a dispenser in a chemist. she does a monthly order.
Good morning @jennifer1967,
He's got lovely weather today. I'm having to watch TV on the phone as I have interference with Look East. I won't call anyone out until I've moved.

thank you @MaNaAk , @Grannie G and @canary we have no plans but its lovely to see the sun. definitely better for the old joints. i hope the "party animal" can stay awake just for a little while. he did nothing but sleep yesterday which would have been peaceful if he doesnt grunt, mutter and snore in his sleep!!!!!
