DearAisling - I follow your threads but dont often post , but i think you're amazing.

If you have a favourite photo of a horse, there are firms that will put it on cushion or blanket for you - in fact you can have a photo put on anything these days. In my husbands care home there is a lady who's relatives have made her a blanket with her favourite dog on and cushions with her grandchildren on. If you want one ready made just try googling - I have found that Amazon have nearly everything that I have googled - even obscure things. xxxx

Wow thank you. I would never have thought of that. Thank you for your kind thoughts re me " being amazing". Unlike some Irish people I am pleased with a compliment.

Ah, Aisling, Internet shopping can be your best friend when caring for someone - or living in a rural area! The world becomes your oyster! :-D

 

[MollyD]

How are you, Aisling?

Am a bit nervous of Internet shopping! Silly!

How are you, Aisling?

Thank you Molly. Don't really know. The good news is T watched the England v Wales match with me today. The whole match. It felt so good. I had a photo of family and I tried to get in enlarged this evening. Simple?? Not at all! It would take a week! A week! I brought it home. If I have energy tomorrow I will drive over to Carlow, might get it done there. Am collecting few bits for Father's Day to put up in his room. Glimpses of other rooms are making me feel guilty. I am impatient as I want to do everything in one day. As you know I have energy problems. Or maybe just lazy out.

I doubt it's laziness Aisling. It's what a friend of mine calls "the apathy of grief ". When we aren't exactly depressed, as such. It's just that getting up has to be our achievement for the day. There's no energy left to decide anything, do anything, other than get through the day.
Time and rest.

You have it exactly. Thank you.

[MollyD]

Yeah, I can imagine how you don't know. I'd be numb and reeling all at once after all you've been through. And in spite of that apathy of grief, you're still there for T. Hope you can cut yourself a bit of slack, Aisling.

And it's just lovely to hear you watched the whole match together.

Glad your enjoying quality time with T now Aisling. It sounds like he is really settling down. Must be such a relief for you. Hope you get things sorted out for Father's day. In England we can get things like that done within the hour, have you a asda store they do it. Take care xx

 

[LadyA]

A lot of the places that do photo printing do it. Hard to know what's near you. Harvey Norman? Soundstore?

Hi Jorgie,

Yes, T is settling in and staff getting to know him. It is comforting for me. He gets sessions of confusion and doctor contacted me today to talk about them. Doctor is really good. Yes I remember the Asda stores. Brilliant.

Take care,

Aisling xx

I had a very lazy day today. Did nothing except fed the livestock!!

[Alicenutter]

Oh, can you come to Provence and feed our livestock? Only been back for 24 hours and the old Westie is driving me CRAZY. He's always been a conceited and entitled dog, and now he's an old deaf blind conceited entitled dog...

How are you?

And dear Aisling, how are you?

And dear Aisling, how are you?

Am not right, whatever that is. So...... tired......

Aisling

 

[MollyD]

Oh, Aisling, I'm so sorry you're struggling. Would you be able to get yourself to your GP soon? And get some rest? Is it possible?

♡

 

[jorgieporgie]

Oh Aisling you really are worn out you poor thing. I think it is like having jet lag after you have been caring for so long, the tiredness finally catches up with you. The trouble is our sleeping patterns are all to pot and it will take time to get back to proper sleeping patterns. Do you like a tipple why not have one or two before bed in a warm drink. xx
