Life is very busy and will be for the foreseeable. There have been visits from MacMillan nurses and the community care team. Visit from the GP next week , the family members doctors have been very good so far. Power of Attorney's have been registered with the doctors and the hospital. The diagnosis has been confirmed by the hospital doctors and no treatment is available. I have become very good at sorting out medication with chemists who have also been brilliant . It does help that the chemist delivery driver is a family friend. One of the things I am appreciating is that family member lives so close to the doctors , chemist and major hospital. I haven't been home much this week in the daytime apart from my WFH day , but I am having tomorrow off so to speak. Other members of the family have done their day at helping out which is a big help to me. In being at family members I have enjoyed watching birds in the garden and checking on all the flowers coming up .
I have still been able to go to RHS for a walk and coffee with my friend, go into school on Friday morning and am of shortly to my walking group. My exercise minutes have been vastly improved owing to all the extra activity I am doing which will be going on for weeks .
I am having very vivid dreams at the moment, maybe that is to do with stress . Anyway the DGC keep me smiling and another blessing is my family have all rallied round to help for which I am forever grateful.
As a side note my son's house sale finally completed after 13 months , which is one less worry for me .Best get dressed , can't go walking in my pjs.
