1st took collection of a new air ripple mattress
– a strange feeling – not happy with it, but decided to try it for the next
week – and by the end of the seven days I was getting an average of five hours
sound sleep per night.
On the 11th Ross, our son, took us up to
wheelchair care in Inverness to see a specialist
rep, who dealt in a specific neck brace that may help keep my head upright – it
went well and so one was ordered.
12th had a home visit from our Dentist
for a check up – my tilting chair worked
very well to allow him to examine my teeth – no need for further work needed at
this time.
15/17th self employed-carer in for
sleepovers, so Jean can have 2 nights a
week undisturbed sleep, although since catheter fitted there is little need now
for getting anyone up.
On 18th Jean had to phone the 24hr care Doctor, I had
problems in passing urine
Doctor decided to get nurse to fit catheter, - and
2300hrs it was fitted – it was great relief since last time I had managed to empty
bladder had been early morning.
Christmas is a lovely time to meet up with all the
family and indulge in lovely food.
This year has been a time of comprise and change in
the early months, but towards the end it’s really been a time when I’ve had to
rely on others for the simplest of tasks.
Very reluctantly this may well be the end of my blog
as right hand and arm deteriorates to the extent that this page has taken over a
week to type up.
