A bed of roses

Definitely feeling better both physically and mentally.  I'm able to plan ahead in terms of days rather than hours.  There's still a lingering cough but it's going.   Thank goodness I was in pretty good health to start with.  The husband is taking longer to shake it off, of course.  The plan is for me to go back to work on Tuesday but to work from home for this week a) to get us into a 'work routine' and b) because the husband has a hospital appointment on Wednesday.  I also have a check up at the dentist booked but that's one thing too many, I think.

I filled in an online form for 'Careline' (basically, social services) and they got back to me the same day!  Occupational Therapy will come out to assess the house for 'aids and adaptations' - eventually.  Care services will be out sooner (still no timeline, though) to talk about supporting the husband's daily care - mostly getting his midday meal when I'm in the office.  And we're waiting for the CAB to give us advice on applying for PIP and carer's allowance.

Apparently, there's help out there but how do you know how to access it unless you happen to speak to the right person at the right time?!

Anyway, we're in the system now.

In baby news, grandson #2 appears to be on the large side.  He may just have been having a growth spurt and will settle down again.  It is meaning more scan pictures, though <3

And one of the husband's older brothers has passed - fluid on the brain.  They weren't close but it's always a shock to lose a family member.

That's about all for now.  See you next week, DW.
