My OH has Alzheimer's and, whilst his behaviour for the most part is not too difficult, he feels most secure an calm when I am near to him. Consequently I get very little time to myself and recently have found it difficult to pursue my hobby of patchwork/quilting. If I switch the sewing machine on and sit down to sew, he constantly interrupts me, so that I cannot concentrate and make too many mistakes to make it worthwhile to continue.
However, this weekend I can only say thank heavens for the Rugby! He watched 3 matches yesterday and 2 matches today, he's eaten well, not complained about anything and I have, apart from a little hand sewing, completed a quilt that has been waiting for months to be finished.
I know it won't last, but I am grateful for this little respite which has enabled me to do something for myself for a change.
