A bit less sleep last night, awake reading at 3am.
DBs care is being taken over by the reablement team from Monday...... mine stays the same.
Order delivered this morning, mostly put away, just a couple of things I will try and get away later.
A friend brought me about 3 months weekly copies of The People Friend, that will keep me going reading wise for a while.....along with my tablet.
Both of us are feeling a bit better, but it's going to take time for both of us.
I did not think I had slept, but my fittbit tells me in fact I slept for 7 hours and 5 minutes.
My carer was early, just after 8am, DB'S did not come until well after 9am. He tires easily, is napping just now.
Calls made for 2 ambulance pickups for me next month, check my leg and then a pacemaker check.
I also have to ring to renew our blue badges now DB'is home.
A very cold night, at least we have not had any snow!!
DD2 will be in later to pick up the laundry, I gather she will have Emilio with her. His mum has an appointment.
Think it will be pasta for supper tonight. I have to sort a drawer out for the ready meals I have ordered from Morrison, which will come tomorrow.
I had a much better sleep last night, was still asleep when DB'S carer knocked, 7 35am........eventually we were both up, wash3d and breakfasted. We had cheese on toast at lunch time, DB had an orange, I had an apple. Cleaner Clare and also DD2 landed more or less at the same time. The site for the TV in our bedroom was discussed. DD2 brought us chicken and noodles for supper. I managed to spill sauce on the settee......... I hope it does not mark it!!
DB IS ready for bed, I am waiting for my carer to arrive and prep me.
Thanks to spending almost a month in bed, DB is very doddery, wants to do things beyond his capabilities just now........he is not going to be easy to live with until he regains some strength.
DB arrived home at 5.15pm, just as DD2 arrived with fish and chips.
His carer landed at 8pm, to get him ready for bed, my carer had been earlier. We sat watching a couple of programmes I had recorded and retired ro bed about 10pm.
DB went straight to sleep, I lay for quite a while before going to sleep myself. I had been sleeping in DBs chair, I could not get comfortable in the bed.
DB was first up, washed and dressed, my carer was very late, her partner had a tyre blow out on her car, she said she would be late all day.
Several phone calls for DB, various people wanting to come to see him. Going to be busy next week
Boy was it cold last night. I woke cold so got the other fleece and put it over the top, took a bit but did warm up eventually and managed a bit more sleep.
DB is waiting for his care to be taken up, then he will be home too, it will seem odd, I have been home 3 weeks, so used to only occasional visitors.
DGD and his partner are going away for a few days, it's half term, flying off to Abu Dbhai.
Carer has just gone, she will be back later.
My appointment came for the fracture clinic, it was for 9.40 had to ring and get it changed, now for 11am
Carer tells me it's very cold, glad I do not have to go out!! Washed, dressed and breakfasted, carer gone on to her next call.
No news re DB coming home, guess they are sorting things out. He was given new medication yesterday, it did not work, so they are trying him on something different.
I think he has at last realised that we need to shed more belongings, I'm toiling to find a quilting group to take my left over fabric and wadding. If I can get rid of that I can store my quilts in the boxes in the sewing room. If we are forced to move again I have no idea where they will go.
At last we have 4 working keys, so that is no longer a problem, DD is bringing the last one up after work tonight.
People do not seem able to grasp the fact that my leg does not hurt. The only pain I had was just after I fell since then nothing. That's what having a high threshold to pain does for you!!
Not sure what's for supper, I still do not have much of an appetite.
DB did not go to see the consultant, the appointment was cancelled, he is waiting for a phycology appointment. So DB is coming home once they have sorted out a care package. Life is not going to be easy over the next few months. I think it will be at least May before I get out of the splint altogether. Needless to say he is busting a gut to get home.
DD2 is coming later to try and sort out the keys to the back door and my cleaner is coming this afternoon to do some shopping for me.
Me I am fine, apart from being bored and having a blooming great splint on my leg!!
