It seems I'm a patient now!

Don’t blame you !

So I just phoned them again and brought the bin in, there’s no point in leaving it out for more doggy poo! I threatened the withholding of council tax…..

Got my tension poles delivered, unfortunately I ordered 2 a bit too short so will have to re-order after the weekend (need to calculate the best day for an Amazon delivery!) the long Dunelm one was a pig to sort, so I tried the 2 medium sized ones to see and develop technique, they went up well, so I adopted a similar way for the long one and it’s up! (Hardly dare to breathe though in case they fall down, haha!)

So far so good, all 3 poles are still up….have asked my neighbour if she will look out for the Amazon delivery tomorrow if it comes before I’m home (it’s back to the museum again!)

I hope the poles are still up after a further few hours. 

I'm quite exhausted caring for hubby with his broken collar bone. He needs help with dressing and undressing; making meals and the only break I get from him seems to be going shopping which isn't really a break! I'm so glad I have some good things happening next week.

Oh bless you Coheal , I know too well how exhausting that can be! I hope he improves soon….

Poles are too short, delivered to my neighbour today for me, this time I know I measured right! Have printed off a returns label and will get them to the shop tomorrow. All the other tension poles are securely up and look great, though! 

in despair I’m going to go into the haberdashers that I bought all the nets from on Monday and see if they have them, bet they have, it’s such a great shop.

I was quite busy today, kept on the go all day!

New windows sound good moomy  I hope your poles remain in place. You’ve been very busy  

Coheal  you’ve got some excellent help booked. I didn’t get to do the Hope course but a friend said it was very beneficial. I did the Moving Forward course which was also good. 

Thanks ️ 

I did the Moving Forward course online so I am glad the HOPE course is in person. Good to know your friend found it helpful. 

I’m so glad these courses are available, I didn’t get any suggested at all. I heard about the ‘looking good feeling better’ course mentioned on this site and had to ask about it myself, then apply myself. That’s the only help I’ve had. I did get access to a Mac nurse counsellor with my role as daughters cater way back. I’ve told her about hubs’ death but not sure if I’ve said about son. 

Fortunately I seem to be coping……I think! But there are times that I just wonder if I really am? 

I’ve been trying to keep up the exercise and healthy eating (but evenings are hard!) especially at lunchtimes.

I'm really sorry you didn't get offered any help. I think it's a lottery, particularly as I started my treatment in West Yorkshire and there was very little support. Much more here.
