I found an agency that SS didn't know covered our area and they had the capacity to take DH on so he is now home ahead of care starting on Monday. After being told he might not be home for weeks I bloody did it. I got him home and in time for Christmas.

(back story, DH has terminal cancer and was doing OK apart from some new small tumours and the main one growing again. He was working full time, then he had a massive stroke on 20th November and is now a shadow of his former self, he can't speak, walk or use the right side of his body).

Well done! Glad that he is home, with you. He must be truly proud of you.

Whoop! Whoop! You didn't give up and he's home. Just where he should be.

ah Incredible Amazing @bloodywhitecat you did it - YOU DID IT! Well done you, you amazing woman you.

I'm so hoping that you can just be together this holiday season. Don't expect too much from yourself or from your lovely DH. Just be together. Don't allow yourself to be run into entertaining visitors, or worse, catering for them. You need to ask them to feed and water you - you'll have enough on your plate.

My wonderful dad had carers come in 3 times a day during his last months at home. It allowed my mum to be present with him; to sit with visitors, to sit with him and just talk, or not. We all appreciated them tremendously - and are so grateful that they took the heavy load of actually caring for him. We got to just love him, and what a gift that was.

Sending all the best to you all. You deserve it.
