Things can only get better

Have a good week

Happy Tuesday

Have been for a walk to the big Mr T this morning. I onIy really went to recycle some batteries but picked up a few things from their weekly fruit/veg deals. They were also selling off cat food reduced to clear so picked up 4 boxes, spent less than £10. I also have a Mr M delivery coming later, I wish I'd know about the missing items before I went shopping this morning as now I'll need to go out again at some stage this week. Oh well, at least the delivery only comes to £34. I've got a £10 off £40 spend voucher for Mr L but realistically don't think I can spend that much in there and you can't use it on alcohol so it's not like I can pop a couple of bottles in to get it to £40.

Fed up with Mr SA yet again this morning. Despite him having the urinal at the side of the bed to use in the night and having a waterproof mattress protector, he's managed to wet the side of the mattress and the bed base 😫 I'm getting sick and tired of this now, it's making me feel really down.

Still need to look at finances, online banking was down yesterday so couldn't check anything. 

Today's cleaning task is the bathroom. Tonight's dinner is Mediterranean Cod.

Onwards and upwards 😐

Mr SA's accidents seem to be getting more frequent. Did you get to discuss this with the doctor?

Hope your day gets better as it progresses. At least the sun is shining

He recently had a full blood and urine test and nothing has shown up. It seems to go in waves like his falls. Unfortunately it’s the part of his brain that’s damaged plus his mobility issues don’t help.

I think I would find that particularly soul destroying - just the endless unpleasant clean ups. Is it time to consider some incontinence wear, at least at night, plus address the beer drinking even if only temporarily? It seems so unfair that there are no compromises to ease the load on you. Sorry if that's too direct. I know you must be considering anything and everything all the time.

Your new bed as well - so sorry.

That is actually so hard SA, when Mum was really ill a few months ago it was horrible and to have it more frequently... you must always be waiting for it to happen. I am massively relieved you don't have carpet at least. I get this thing that nothing is ever clean and drive myself nuts cleaning things. Very frustrating.

The beer drinking at night doesn’t help. I nag him about it frequently. As we all know lager goes in one end and out the other at a rate of knots. I’m going to have to consider incontinence wear for him but fear it will make him lazy, at least he’s making a bit of an effort right now.

That must be incredibly frustrating SA.  I agree with @warby68 that incontinence pads plus reducing or eliminating the beer may be something worth considering but I guess you need Mr SA on board for that.  I am not surprised you are feeling down about it especially as it is a new bed.

Can they not refer you to the incontinence team to discuss ? They would be the ones giving you the incontinence stuff

Oh no not on your new bed,I would be really upset too 😟 I use an a cleaning spray called oxi max when any of the pets has an accident,it's neutralises the wee so it doesn't smell x
