I slept so well, only waking when I felt a very loud purring kitty snuggled up on my knee. That made me so happy. She lay there ages purring and sniffing me as much as to say, that's my Mummy under all that weird smell. I have missed her so much.
Kev got up about 7.30 am and started changing things around to make things easier.
He made breakfast and we had a phone call from Nottingham Occupational Safety and Health. Nice bloke, asking was there anything we needed apart from they had already provided. And could they come and assess how we were both coping. Kev mentioned the thing he isn't confident in giving me my daily jabs. So he has spoken to a district nurse who will come and teach him how to do it properly.
The only thing I think we are short of is a bar (similar to a monkey bar so I can scooch myself up the bed.
Once all that was dealt with we went to get me in the shower. It wasn't as hard as we thought. Obviously it won't be an everyday thing, but even if I can strip wash daily and every three days or so shower I'll be happy.
Kev made tofu stir fry for lunch, just so nice to have fresh veg and less stodge. The food wasn't bad just not what I would consider healthy. But you are also aware that the budget is low and they do the best they can. I've lost weight I can tell because I only picked at my food jumping on any chance of salad or veggies. I went with the soup more often than not.
Charlotte and Ian came round to bring me a bed table which was his uncles, so I can sit up in bed and do my dyalog etc. Which was very good of them. They also bought me a shower seat which will come in handy when I'm more mobile. The transfers between bed and commode are getting easier, which is giving me more confidence. Obviously I wouldn't risk it alone but Kev is really only there in a supervisory role. Bless him, he has worked his socks off today. Loo provider, Shower provider, he washed the clothes and cooked food. The guy needs a medal.
That's day one at home and in the bag....
