forecast was for sun today, the start of a heatwave, its very dull and overcast.
Carer here this mornong, shower again, managed evrythting myself, carer thinks they will stop all care next week, we will see. DB spent a lot of time maoning about belly ache yesterday, I ended up giving him imodium, which seems to have calmed things down. My sleeping is getting worse, just 4 hours last night, not sure if its because I have stopped the pain killers, will have to wait and see if it improves over the next few days. My knees are painful but not unduly so.
Plans to make involve me being able to stay in the bungalow once I am on my own. I need to lock away at least 6 months bill money, rent etc. I will qualify for housing and council tax benefit, but I still have other bills to pay. At that point the car will have to go and I will also possibly be selling one of my machines, very loath to let the Lumi go, but may not have a choice. So lots to think about. Our invested savings account finishes next month, so at that point I may be able to lock some money away long term........will have to see.
Supper tonight I think will be fish and chips, need to email DD2 and find out what is going on, she is going out with friends.
Oh, I imagine you'll be so glad to be done with needing carers at all and back to doing things on your own schedule.
ReplyDeleteHope DB is feeling better today.
With DB being a good deal older than you, thoughts of surviving him and managing are good to consider. DH is 8 days older than I am but has more medical problems than I have. Because of the size of our property and the house next door we bought for his parents and where DS2 lives, DS2 and I cannot remain here as there is too much exterior upkeep. We are thinking about that and all that moving involves.
My L wrist is still tender and slightly annoying.
Hugs!
