A couple of quite good days, although the nights haven't been too good, waking and being uncomfortable.We've discussed this and decided to use the anxiety/sleeping pill when she goes to bed, and will hopefully allow here to sleep longer, if this does occur she'll move to her chair (with a gel pillow) when she wakes up and let her doze there. At the moment she's taking a lot of morphine at night and none during the day, which I think is making her sleepy during the day. If not we'll think again, it's a voyage of discovery. The bed sores are slowly improving.
More agro from my (ex) employer, the caring, ethical, moral Southern Co-op, who can't work out how to give me (unpaid) indefinite leave to care for my wife. I'd like to battle with them, as I think they should be more sensitive to staff, but as it upset my wife yesterday, I'm going to tell them to stuff it. I don't really need the money, and it's only part time, but I did want to keep my options open when Claudette's gone.
