If I don’t live by the graphic on the right things are going to get really difficult here.  My appointment with the social worker, to review my Carers’ Assessment, has been postponed yet again.  Therefore, we remain saddled with a Care Package that is totally unrelated to Maureen’s presentation.

It is rather difficult to progress anything without the social worker’s blessing.  So all I can do at the moment is tread water and try to cope.

What I have to ensure is that my tiredness, and irritation, is not picked up by Maureen.  It is time to keep a smile on my face and tough it out over the weekend.  I will need to focus on working with staff at the new Care Agency on Monday when they take over the reigns.

We are fortunate that Maureen’s youngest son will be here on Sunday.  He has an incisive mind, and a balanced approach to things.  He couldn’t be coming at a better time.  We need wise counsel before we take our next next steps on our journey with dementia.
