1) I don’t feel very well – not mentally unwell, physically really, really cack ! Keep coughing, rough throat, sniffles and to add insult to injury my pelvic floor is failing me dismally when I cough. Laydeez you will understand if you’ve had kids ! Oh and even more insult to injury – ‘got painters in’ !
2) Hubby is ‘having symptoms’ as in paranoia. Asked him on scale of 1 to 10 how bad and he said 6 (he found it difficult to rate initially !) .We both know reason is down to his forgetting Sulpiride in morning – he takes 400mg then and 1200mg at night. Mind you he only told me yesterday about it and it’s been going on for past two weeks. Oh dear ! Well he has tried for past 3 days to remember morning dose, do that’s good. I asked him if he wants me to contact his CPN – unsurprisingly answer was no and I’ve decided to leave it til after weekend and see what happens then. Not a lot CPN can do anyway, it’s not a major crisis and to be honest the only purpose it serves ringing the CMHT is for me to give them heads up on situation. That said I know he hasn’t seen CPN for about a monthish and isn’t sure when he is seeing him next. I refuse to catastrophise about this – only thing really bothering me is that he gets very snappy with my son, who is 14 yrs old. Son is tolerant, very understanding (I have explained to him Hubby’s situation – he’s known a couple of years ) and very mature for his age thankfully. However, naturally I do worry what he is thinking about his Dad. Daughter at nearly 10 yrs only sees her Dad as a bit grumpy, but has a basic understanding of his illness.
Course work is slightly boring atm – waiting for third assignment to be marked ! Been studying differences in Social Care and NHS funding, privatisation etc. I don’t do statistics and unfortunately next assignment is about trends in community and residential home care provision since 1998, for the elderly. Fortunately I am just a smidgeon ahead in my study, since I know it’ll take some serious planning for the next assignment which is due in by 26th Feb. Alas kid’s half term begins 15th Feb !!!
Have decided not to go to my voluntary day centre thing tomorrow morning – don’t think the clients need my germs ! I think a rest day is called for – not that I over exert myself since I still just work Sunday’s !
