i think its the shorter days that seems to make them sleep along with the heating being on so they are toasty. your wrist sounds painful. do you put something over it to stop it getting wet?
i keep having the podiatrist who deals with my toe and dresses it. i have like a waterproof thing that i pull on to stop the dressing getting wet and i can shower himself and me. its stops wter getting on bandages and casts and you just pull it on.
Yep, definitely a challenge, there was the evening we couldn’t manage to open the tin of tuna between us, ended up with jam sandwiches. House cleanliness is not up to normal standards. But OH has really tried to help after the first 2 days. And the children have rallies round too. But never knew about a plastic bag you could just pull on with one hand! Washing the dishes (pots) has been hard, he wouldn’t be able to do them properly. If this was permanent a dishwasher would be in the Xmas present list. I am lucky that my OH can still manage personal hygiene with only very limited input.
i got it on amazon in their health section. its shaped like a big foot and has a sealed top. they do the wrist ones as well and all sorts. you put in protection for bandages and casts. i would have whole weeks where he wouldnt have a shower without getting my foot wet/your arm wet
Yes, thank you, back knitting and driving which helps to keep me sane. Been very lucky.
Well done you , wishing you, and all my Support Forum friends a Vey Happy Christmas - hope everything goes smoothly for us all. Here this evening (after lovely yesterday) we are just about speaking, had good walk and lunch out, I stopped to talk to a neighbour when we got out the car, and hadn’t unlocked door, OH got the hump, said I had left him standing around like a spare part, when I said he could have joined in the conversation, he swore at me and threw the shopping down….. so unlike his pre dementia self. Oh well at least I managed to get the door shut first so hopefully the neighbours didn’t hear, but probably did.
