Morning!
We have annual reviews from our care manager (Social Worker). During these reviews he goes over all the questions about what support Bill needs to undertake the daily tasks of living and so on. These reviews are very important for us as they determine the number of hours care Bill receives. I know that things are different here as our free personal care for the elderly is central to the meeting. The hours that Bill gets are funded by the free personal care budget and Bill's own contribution. The carer's assessment is also part of this review meeting. The SW asks m out of the blue as never had a care manager??? and she said she was!
. Its lovely to have such good and long friends, bet you get up to mischief too
The visit to the hairdresser was fine. I ended up asking for a wet cut instead of the full blow dry so that I was back in time for Bill's carer finishing. Hair is nice and short now! We had a lovely 'blether' (Scottish word -
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blether) and caught up on all the goings on! I meet with 4 people. One of them is one of my best friends from secondary school days. The other 3 are really friends of hers and since I retired I have joined them for their Wednesday coffee dates. 3 of them (including my friend) are artists and went to art college together in the 60s. 3 of us were teachers. It's a nice mix of people and good to meet with them.
Today we have a smattering of snow outside. Not as much as I think there is elsewhere in Scotland. Enough to wear my new boots I think!
No morning carer today as she is still on leave. Back next week. I'll get Bill ready for his day centre and take him up. I'll then come back towards home and stop off at Curves gym. I'm getting weighed and measured today
! I'm pretty sure I've put on weight as I've not been too careful about eating this month! Hey ho!
Have a good day all. x
