What to do when your carer needs caring for!

This was not something I had not thought would ever happen so when it did, I did what I had to - look after myself and look after D. I didn't have much time to think about it either as when the crunch and D was admitted to hospital we had only a couple of hours notice. 

So no more rides up the road to the bus stop , no more trips to the supermarket, no more help with with meal preparation, no more company in the evenings, nobody to weed the garden, bring in the washing, do the vacuuming, watch TV with, talk to, laugh with, confide in , share with for nearly six weeks now.  Not nice.  

All these things,  I took for granted when the going was good. In the meantime I suppose I have adjusted  and accommodated most of the tasks into my week, one way or other.  Friends have helped me on the weekends and I have streamlined my routines.
