👍Success! Off to day care and a bowls match for me this morning. Hope it stays dry😃
Lovely young men abounded whenever mum tripped and fell on her way to/from the shops in her last years. Lifts home, to shops, (once in a top down sport car!), making sure she was okay, getting her into chair at home with cuppa......Nothing too much trouble!This not exactly a dementia funny but.....
Any one fancy getting themselves a toy boy?
Try getting a wheelchair with no handbrake or power pack. To push your pwd.around in
I've had a few near misses and struggles with mine and I have had some very lovely young men come to my rescue🙂. One young man saw me with the wheelchair stuck on the bobbled drop kerb paving. Kept going round in circles. The young man stopped his car and came to my rescue.
Yesterday two young men working for BT outreach came to my rescue to help push OH up a steep but short slope😃. Been other incidents where help has been offered
So lovely to be helped without asking . And some very nice young men!
Replacement wheelchair with handbrakes on order and hospital has said I can adapt and put a power pack on if I want to fund it. So .. I'm off tomorrow to order one for the new chair when it comes.
🤣This conversation just sums up our lives. There are nine posts all about mops. Wow - we really live the high life don't we.
🙃Awww x. When we go to bed and I ask my hub to switch the tv off. He picks up the remote and points it towards me x
M and S do a virtually no alcohol Bucks Fizz. Cheap, cheerful, relaxing and looks poshly naughty!I try to see the humour in life,it's what releases my 'frustration valve'. That's not to say it always works and on days I feel like kicking the walls I resort to the bottle of Kalms. They do usually work😊😊😊
Mmm ... Takes you by surprise doesn't it when they say something you can follow.At lunchtime today I was feeding my OH. Today's menu was home made veg & bean soup & a cheese roll, before cherries and custard, whilst watch the tennis from Wimbledon,
All going Ok, until there was some down the line winning shot to which my OH reacted by pointing to the screen and knocking the spoon of soup onto her tea towel "bib"
She immediately looked at me and disparagingly said "Not very good at this, are you!"
As on Monty Python with the Spanish Inquisition one always has to expect the unexpected!
Back to the tennis, and she says "Is it what your weekly tennis is like"
"Well we don't get crowds"
"Do you sell tickets?"
"No"
"Well what d'you expect!"
I had to laugh at the idea of people wanting to watch me and my old codger friends trying to play tennis in the village rec.!
That I think is longest ordinary words conversation we've had in many many a month.
My OH Looooooooves Christmas. (So did his mum) OH has worked as a DJ and on radio. His Christmas Drive Time show season always started and ended with Driving Home for Christmas (Chris Rea) so he could start each season with "welcome back, now where were we.....". He'll probably have this at his funeral. Enjoy.We have just finished dinner. It was nothing very special but it was tasty and enjoyable. At some point I mentioned Christmas and we started remembering previous Christmas's ( at least I did). When we finished dinner OH claimed it was a lovely Christmas dinner and it had been one of the best Christmas's we had ever had. He even raised his cup of tea and wished me Merry Christmas.
So, Merry Christmas everyone.
