Esmeralda, I understand that this has come as a shock to you, but let's be grateful that Nick is not against the idea. He is probably unsettled by the change of routine, and of course he is not well. He is in no way rejecting you or your care.
I must confess something now.
Because of the disruption we endured for a much simpler installation, I honestly would have advised you to find a nice care home for Nick to stay in for the duration.
But when I wrote to you the work was due to start the next day, so I didn't mention it. I was very concerned as to how you might cope, but thought your home may have been bigger than ours, so Nick would have been less aware of everything. As you know, my husband spent every day at the day centre while the work went on, as the layout here would have meant he would have been in the centre of all the comings in and goings out!
So although I know it's not what you planned, I do think it is for the best. The work can go ahead without you worrying about how it is affecting Nick, and you can get some quality sleep which you will need.
Honestly, if I had known about the project weeks or months ago, this is what I would have suggested, Esmeralda., based on how it was for us during a less disruptive job.
Wishing you a good night's sleep, and a speedy recovery for Nick.
Sleepless xx
