      Could you get a second suction machine, so you can have one per floor, or is that pushing it... 😘😘

                  Great stuff, hope the meeting goes well.

                  Dare I ask Ken, did you figure out who is paying for the carers - you or 'them'? 😘😘

                      keno glad to hear you had a positive experience with your carer. I had my first carer visit today, she helped me in the shower and get dressed. I too was apprehensive but all went well. She also changed the sheets on my bed and sorted out the kitchen. It is good to have made that first step.

Last night about 3am, I was feeling definitely time for those advanced decisions, after a horrible few weeks with the trauma of cataract operation (when they only agreed to my using ventilator literally just before going into the operating theatre), and then not being able to shake off a chest infection despite being on my second antibiotics. Roll on spring and good weather xx
                        You are very brave xx
