Hi
@jennifer1967
Love the Paddington bear Jenny I wish I was good at craft and knitting to be honest can just about sew a button on
My late mum was a very good knitter but never actually taught me to knit not sure why as I would have liked to been able to.
Good you got the AA sorted both my dad and partner get this allowance it does help.
When Partner had OT in they made arrangements for us to have some bits done like an extra rail on stairs two frames for round toilets with incorporated seat in and bedrail plus a grip handle in shower cubicle we didn't have to pay anything. I have to say the toilet seat things are great and very comfy but cannot shut toilet seat lid as original toilet seat lid has to be in the up position, would this sort of seat be handy for you and husband? Seat has certainly helped my poor back although was really given for partners use as he struggles to get up and it has made it a lot easier for him as he can sit higher up our toilets seems really low now without it. We do tend to briefly remove the seat when we have visitors which is quick to do.
My ex brother-in-law and his wife had their bathroom adapted by the council as also rent and she has some mobility issues it was a walk- in bath fitted and she was very pleased with it.
Dad is getting more confused and latest today was he said to sister that the GP had called and told him his jaw was broken, dad then refused lunch telling carer his cheeks bones had burst so she called sister just to let her know sister then related it to me. I also read it in his notes on my visit but nothing actually wrong and he didn't say anything to me about it but did have a handkerchief tucked under his chin as if trying to support it so I just said to pop in his shirt pocket which is where he usually keeps it.
Looks like Scotland may have some more restrictions soon so maybe I might not see my daughter again for quite a while as she lives in Edinburgh. Take Care and well done for getting all that stuff sorted you must be feeling pleased. Sorry almost forgot how lovely of your friend to offer cost of Taxi do please take the offer you so deserve it.
