Such a bad day - just a weepy heap

Luckygirl I am glad that a solution acceptable to all has been reached. These crisis times are so difficult, but you had to protect yourself as well as look after your DH.

I am sure you will quickly fall into a new routine, knowing that your DH is being looked after qualified people trained for the job.

This is wonderful to hear. I've been worrying!
Sounds so encouraging. Just need a premium bond win!

*Luckygirl*, I've been reading your posts all along, and thinking of you and your DH.
I'm so happy that you have found a very good care home for him and that he seems to be settling in with very few issues.
My best to you both.??

Your last post is so heartening to read*lucky*, you do sound lighter. It sounds the best of beginnings. Sleep well. You deserve to and my love to you all, it’s been a hard road.

I'm reli3ved to hear that the Big Move has finally taken place with very little drama. What a huge relief it will be to you and all the family, Lucky.

No doubt this is what Billy Connolly's family are facing too, so a good choice of reading matter.

Time now to get yourself well again

Good news lucky, I hope you are getting some time to rest.

He is settling in; and does not get distressed when I leave, which is a huge relief. He is very sleepy and very weak, but thankfully not unhappy.

That is so good to hear Lucky and must be a huge relief and comfort to you and your family . I hope you can get some well earned rest and let yourself be “cared for” for a change .

Good to read that the move went well and that your dh is settling in. Sighs of relief all round for you all, especially that he’s not upset when you leave. Hopefully you’ll start to feel the benefit in your own health and well-being, lucky

Thank you.

Once I can get the finances sorted I will be able to relax - well, I say relax, but sorting the finances could include selling this bungalow, so I doubt that will be particularly relaxing!

Just back from the nursing home and he is fine - showered, been to the on-site hairdresser, had lunch with a glass of shandy, been visited by the GP nurse practitioner etc. Now off to sleep for a bit. Nights are difficult because of pain and also paranoia, but someone comes and sits with him when he is feeling bad. All good there so far.

Hope all this means your own sleep patterns are becoming more normal and that you are a bit less stressed, though the thought of having to move can’t be helping. I think of you often and hope you can feel,happier.

Glad he's getting such excellent care. You couldn't have gone on very much longer trying to do everything yourself. It's impossible for one person to do the work of a team of experts. You have chosen well and hope you can find a solution to the finances which is best for you. Take care. x

Luckygirl I am so glad that you finally found a caring, comfortable home for your DH, and that he seems happy to be there. The relief must be immense. I do hope that your finances can be dealt with and sorted out satisfactorily, without having to sell your home.
I seem to remember when you were looking for it, if I remember correctly, and that you were so pleased with it.
Like others, I hope you are now a bit more rested, after all the hoops that you had to jump through.
Take care.
