I seem to remember when my husband was still at home with me there was a time when we had a very slow start to the day.
He would stay in bed while I came on to Talking Point, on my computer, in the bedroom. Often it was 11am before we got dressed.
I remember thinking half the day had passed before we even had breakfast. It didn`t bother me because there was very little else we could do and there was companionable communication between us while he rested in bed and I was on the computer..
Sometimes it was the most relaxed and peaceful time of the day.
I suppose it is different for a paid caregiver who might feel the need to `earn their pay` by staying with a routine and providing some stimulation. I realise staying in bed too long can lead to muscle wastage but it`s all about compromise.
Going with the flow may be a cliche but sometimes it works.
