Yes, accept all the help offered. You'll soon work out what you don't need. Hubby will be much more relaxed (once he gets used to the extra people), but he'll be at home. Don't forget to take care of yourself, and make sure the help is organized so you can have some 'me' time! :-)

So glad to hear you will be having your husband back home Shirley.

He will be much more relaxed in familiar surroundings and having you there with him.

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best <3

I bet he will be pleased that he is coming home.
I agree that you must get all the help...it isn't easy as I know from experience,but like you I couldn't leave my husband in care and sometimes you have things to do that you're not trained for,but it's amazing how you cope.
Thinking of you Shirley.

Dear Shirley

Hello

Sending many caring thoughts to you and your husband.

Wherever you can, keep a small notebook of the people you have contact with, names, job titles, and contact numbers.

That way, it will be easier to decide what is working for you and your husband.


Take very gentle and good care of yourself
Loving wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

Shirley I am pleased for you both that your husband is able to come home with care and support in place for you both. Perhaps he might improve in his familiar home surroundings. On the positive side is the fact that maybe you can relax a little after all the travelling and hospital visits which can be very draining as I know only too well.

You are wise to accept all that is offered as it will be a challenging time ahead for all. Remember to take baby steps, just one day at a time and keep focused now that you are both together. Take care of yourself, it's easier said than done but necessary too.

I am pleased for you that hubby is coming home. No doubt there will be an adjustment period for you all. I hope that goes as smoothly as possible and you will get to share many more special moments with your beloved hubby. <3.

Sending you a huge (((hug)))

Yes I have told the carers and social services I will accept all the help they can offer.

If I find we don't need some parts of it then I can cancel that but initially I will accept
everything offered

Well if he soils himself overnight,then it seems he will have to wait to,the morning to be cleaned up ,
They have suggested we get a baby monitor so I can hear him if he needs help as I can't sleep downstairs too

Thank you Jo

I just want him home
He is my best friend ,we have been married for 58years so he is my world and well as part of me .
Our daughter has said mum his face lights up when he sees you so he needs you as much as you need him ,BUT It will be hard work for you and it may be that if we get another year with him with us it may be all we can hope for so we may have to accept that

Well I will accept any time I have with the guy I met at 18 and married at 20 and who is my best friend as well as my darling hubby <3
