Another visit...
Eric slept through it.
He was in one of his "big sleeps" and was unrousable.
Our AS Volunteer Co-ordinaor came with me as she wanted to see Eric..and is always interested in viewing CHs she hasn't visited. She was pleasantly surprised.
It gave me an opportunity to catch up with the staff and discuss Eric..he is well loved by them all...
They're quite happy to sing along with him in the wee small hours. They are forging out a routine around Eric's needs which I think is brilliant. It's flexible and ongoing..again so necessary as things change.
He talks about me a lot..and our three houses in Italy and whether I'm driving the Maserati or the Ferrari ...and the ongoing affair of course...
But he looks so comfortable there..and so physically well. The AS lady commented exactly as I'd done..he looks better now than he did when I was caring for him.
On the down side I've been to see the emergency doctor at the surgery thisafternoon. I was becoming concerned about pain in my upper back and shoulder which is affecting breathing/coughing/sneezing/yawning..and moving in certain directions...
Imagining all sorts of horrible things...most of you know I smoke...she gave me a thorough examination and my chest is clear...
But I have a badly pulled muscle underneath the shoulder blade which will take some time to heal. I know I've been working flat out and need to take things easy for a bit.
But the skip is almost full and my younger son helped yesterday with the heavy work.
Slowly things are slotting into place.
Love to you all and thanks again for being there.
