Here I am!

After a too short visit, Anjo is now back home - she had a good flight - a bit bumpy but aren't we all! Last I heard, she was sitting with her bum on the radiator - I, on the other hand, have had my bum in the chaise - soaking up a few rays this afternoon! I do hope you poor people get some warm weather soon.

I want to tell you all that Anjo was a great help to me. She did lots of skivvying - and didn't eat much! My fridge is cleaned out and all of those strange things on the top shelf have been rehomed - in the rubbish! The spare room has been tidied and the toilets have been plunged! She is a star!

We had another lovely birthday party at the weekend - although it was very sad. We all squeezed into Mr. Indi's room and I opened my presents there - lots of lovely stuff: a super book on the California Missions, a case of Newcastle and spotted knickers from Marks and Sparks! A great variety of great presents!

I want to thank all of the lovely family and friends who sent me birthday messages, cards and flowers. I love you all xx

Mr. Indi is weak but doing OK. He spent at least 4 hours today working from home - on his computer and on the phone. He still feels the need to work - it keeps him going. Tomorrow, we will make an appointment with the hospice lady. His Lordship has decided to go with hospice - there doesn't seem to be much in the way of alternatives. I agree with his decision - I just want him to be comfortable and free from pain.

Hi Rosie - thanks for your concern re: bed sores. The nurse (RN) came today gave his Lordship the once over. His only real problem is on his right elbow but I am keeping my eye on it - he wears elbow pads and I am using Desitin at least twice a day - he also keeps his elbows on pillows. I turn him every two hours - even though it's like moving a moose! But, he is a wonderful patient and doesn't mind when I shove him around! It's great to be in charge!
