Home at last.

 The best laid plans.......etc etc.

It's been a very bumpy three weeks. My husband has has two admissions to hospital both with lovely paramedics on hand. Very worrying when blood pressure and oxygen disappear. A drip attached to the curtain rail, oxygen swiftly administered and a totally reassuring presence made things easier.

It has given me time to rest and do absolutely nothing, as the hospital does not allow visitors. So as the heat was almost too much, I have stayed inside a good deal, done a bit of sewing, a bit of reading and tried not to worry. The evenings were the best time to be in the garden, and I found it was better to water the tomatoes at around 9.30 pm, and then sit outside and drink in the scents of the garden....roses and sweet peas.

He is being discharged today and will be welcomed home. We will all breathe a little easier.

Slowing down

 

For a few weeks I will be slowing down, and recouping my strength. 

My husband is taking a little 'holiday' in this lovely Nursing Home not far away, where he is being looked after very well. Sadly I've run out of the energy needed to cope with his needs at the moment, and although we hate being apart it's necessary for me to be fit for surgery, (whenever that is)

They are very strict about testing, and I had to have a lateral flow test and wait outside for 30 minutes. I didn't mind at all, anything to beat the virus has to be good. The Home takes a maximum of 30 clients. The rooms are pleasant, if not huge. they have a Television set, and a comfy chair to relax in. I was able to spend the lunchtime with my husband and he enjoyed a very good home cooked meal.

Visitors are allowed provided they are tested first. There is a nice little garden where they can visit if the weather is fine.

So now I'm wandering around the house, mentally waiting for Carers to come, or for medication times. Probably watching Wimbledon is the better option!

I will be reading your posts but probably not writing a great deal.
