Morning,
A straight 5 today, went to sleep well last night, but now been awake since 4.30 ish, woke with a headache shaking and ravenous, checked blood sugar levels and all good, not too high, not too low, well it was 5 than and is still 5 now. Struggled to get off to sleep, then hubby started snoring really loudly so came downstairs, I might managed to go back to sleep on the sofa.
@eggyg - sorry to hear about MIL again, I was going to suggest that she might be better in a retirement complex like my mum, but do realise it is a huge upheaval at her age as mum and dad were 84 and 85 respectively when they moved, but as you pointed out it is the funding issue, mum and dad were able to buy their flat, and it costs over £5,000 per annum in Management fees, but they have both a lift and a stairlift, complex manager (although that is not 24 hrs, for office hours, outside of that they still have to call careline, but pull cords everywhere in her flat) it is like being in a hotel when you walk in rather than a block of flats, which is why I suppose they call them apartments and I am comparing it to the block of council flats my daughter lives in. My mum doesn’t even go to everything they have on in their complex as she says she wouldn’t have enough time to knit and do her puzzle books if she did. Honestly, she will need a rest on Christmas Day after all the a Christmas activities going on, she has already has a Christmas Meal that the local cafe, 3 doors along from the complex put on for them, a carols and mince pies curtesy of a local infant school, and another 2 parties to come, one next week and one the following week. But I still get the emergency calls about something, but are more concerned with things like her shopping hasn’t arrived so she needs me to call Tesco, or she has had a suspicious text etc.
