Hi Linton I hope you've had a good day and your grandson was ok going to school today. Hope he has some support plus the family. It must be a worry for you. I've walked to the local post office a couple of times during Christmas and round the doors. I would normally walk further afield for a few hours on a weekend or during the light nights but that has been curtailed.
I didn't get to choir unfortunately.I was set to go but whilst I was in the dining room emailing the choir director I heard a bgt clatter in the sitting room. Dad had another fall and was lying flat out. Dad and I managed between us and a dining room chair to get him up. He was feeling a bit ropey but nothing broken and he didn't bang his head..So then I didn't want to leave him until my brother arrived. I had been asking Dad if he needed the loo but he said no. Then after tea I knew he needed the toilet. So had to sort him clean up brother helped a bit. I showered Dad. So it has been..... well. Felt like crying twice in 24 hours. Dad seems to be losing his balance and falling backwards. Bro and I aren't sure if Dad is forgetting to go to the toilet sometimes or if he feels uneasy about going.
Hopefully we will have a quiet night and I may get to choir next week. Back at work tomorrow xx
