Start of the week.

 DB struggled, but managed to stay awake till 9pm. Carer came just after 7pm to get him ready for bed.

Light went out just before 10pm, DB needed the loo just after midnight, we both then settled down. The alarm woke me at 7.30.

DB up washed and dressed by 8.30, breakfast and settled down to read. He settled down for a nap around 11am. He is walking better, will get him to walk with his frame into the conservatory after lunch. He usually has a nap in the afternoon as well just now.

I am sleeping a lot better, the last 2 nights have been over 8 hours......amazing!!

Laundry hung out on the whirly, very little breeze and cool, but temperature die to rise to 21c today.

Supper tonight, white fish, mashed potato and peas. I have a melon I am going to do for dessert.

A good sleep for one of us.

 Carer came just before 7pm, so DB elected to go to bed. I took a book through and read till 9pm and then settled down myself. I did wake a couple of times and finally aroused myself at 7.30. 

It was TJ this morning, he was so pleased to see DB home, he said all the carers had said how much they missed coming........so life goes off as usual again.

DB sat in the conservatory for a while, then settled down to sleep for an hour or so.He walked through the sitting room to the conservatory with his frame. I followed behind with the wheelchair, just in case. He is walking slowly, but getting there.

He has just had his lunch a banana sandwich, yogurt and a glass of milk.

I have made a pot of lentil soup. I will decant it into a jug and put it in the fridge.

Supper tonight, chicken, mash and veggies.

Home at last

Db arrived home at 8.45am this morning. At 10pm last night I spoke to the nurse looking after DB. After talking to DB the decision was made to cancel last nights pick up and schedule it for today. Apparently the ambulance chaps arrived before DB was up. So 2 nurses washed and dressed him and waved bye bye.

I was just thinking about getting dressed when there was a tap tap at the window, low and behold the patient was there.

He has had a fair day, quite tired, but a few nights sleep will soon sort that out. He had a couple of naps during the day. DD2 arrived with some leeks I had asked her to get. Stayed talking for a couple of hours before heading off to see DGD and the children. Supper tonight was a Cornish Pasty, very moreish. DB had creme caramel, I finished off the lemon cheesecake washed down with a cup of tea.

I guess we will both benefit from a decent night's sleep.

 

Coming home

Well I have sat like an idiot all day waiting for DB to arrive home from hospital, it is now8.10pm. Have just rung the hospital, they are waiting for an ambulance to collect him and bring him home. Heaven knows what sort of state he will be in when he gets here............... 

Went for my scan

 And then on to see DB. He had eaten his soup and then developed a dizzy. Did not stay long, just about an hour.

Had a rude awakening this morning, no hot water for the shower, ended up having a cold one. Rang the agents, plumber coming after 4pm. Hope it's fixable........

Having the rest of the turkey breast with some salad tonight for supper. Probably a creme caramel for dessert.

It rained quite heavily on the way home, DB wants me to sort his rain gauge out, we are due heavy rain tomorrow apparently.

Home Day

DB has had a couple of iffy days. Yesterday they gave him an injection for the nausea which shot him into the worst dizzy attack he has ever had. Today he had another nasty dizzy, the Dr gave him tablets which took it off.

I went to Morrison this morning for a couple of things I wanted, cancelled our delivery as not much was needed. I forgot it was market day, the shop and car park rammed.

Since I got home I have been dittering about. Cooked turkey breast slices with new spuds, cauliflower and broccoli for my supper.

Tomorrow I have my scan at the hospital DB is in, so will go on to see him.

I will go in again on Friday, I have a feeling he is going to be in there for a while. If they manage to sort out what's going on it will be worth it. Hopefully I may get to see a Doctor tomorrow.

Weather is unsettled, sun, cloud and wind. It has tried to rain a couple of times. All laundry is now done and dried. Just need to fold today's in the morning. The bed needs changing this week, that should be interesting.

Visiting

After yesterday's PJ day, today has been busy. Laundry washed overnight, hung out on the new whirly. 10.30am, I was on my way to see DB. He was dizzy, he had seen the Dr. I had hoped to speak to the Dr myself, but after waiting for over 2 hours, I had to leave. I did not want to get caught in heavy traffic, I arrived home at 3.45pm.

I brought the washing in, we had a couple of rain showers whilst I was out, the laundry was a bit damp, so it's on the airer in the conservatory. I then went out and surveyed the pots, I have moved a few, but had to give up, my back was complaining. Will may be move a couple more tomorrow. There is quite a lot of rubbish to go to the tip. There will be a lot more before I have finished.

I have had my supper, so once  I have put the plates etc in the dish washer I will settle down to watch TV.
