Tam and Rosie have been staying here - Tam wanted me to look after Rosie whilst she was in the Dentist's yesterday. She was gone an hour and I was quite relieved to hand Rosie back as she needed to sleep but wouldn't settle in her pram - I'm not surprised as the pavements were very bumpy. I was in the single bed in Keith's bedroom and didn't sleep at all well as too hot and Keith's bed is noisy, plus his breathing was too for a while.
This morning we had a meeting over funding for continuing care for Keith. Gabby and Tam were present to help support me. Was it down to the Council or did the NHS pick up the bill? We had the Social Worker and the Parkinsons' Nurse on line, and we did a series of questions which determined his vulnerability. He doesn't come under NHS terms yet, and so we will have to carry on waiting for Carers to become available via the council. I'm not holding my breath. I spent two hours and more yesterday writing notes for this, only to find they weren't needed. Next week we have more professionals coming out, including the officious OT lady again and the Speech and Language Therapy lady.

Now, a taster of the FABULOUS quilts to come in the next post:
