It was along the lines of how nice it was to see Mr at home with his new puddy tat. And how familiarity and trust would build up with his new carers over the coming weeks allowing Jean to sit back and take time out.

If he feels frail and vulnerable, Jean probably makes him feel safer.<br />That said, yup, does not need to become a habit. If the carers are the same every day, I'd gradually withdraw from supervision over the next couple of weeks, leaving the most sensitive stuff till last. <br />If, on the other hand, wanting Jean there is ego-based (wanting the household to revolve around him), then, (excuse the language) frack that. <br />Good luck with the sweater hunt. I'd help, but I have no idea where to get a good wool sweater (we don't have many around here in GA). The ones I have came from Goodwill and were meant for yarn recycling (which never quite happened as I found them useful for wearing).

Maybe a Canadian or Scandinavian or hunting website? Although you may have to plow through acres of circular yokes. Or you may need to consider layers if your husband is agreeable to that. Knitting one seems very time consuming (burdensome) for you right now. If I come across one I will let you know.

Most of the time it was a very cheerful young man. They didn't want me around! It gave me a chance to get out and do essential shopping etc. <br />I hope for you it is just a matter of getting used to a new routine and your presence won't be required.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10182687414850983492015-10-05T09:21:07.548+01:002015-10-05T09:21:07.548+01:00It kind of lessens the point of having carers ther...It kind of lessens the point of having carers there if you've still got to stand around watching. Yes you need carers to help with the physical and weightlifting stuff but it's also so that you can get on with other things while the carers are there, including looking after yourself. You will have plenty of time you'll have to spend with your husband outwith this. So don't establish staying with them as a habit, it will just get harder to break later. Unless you want to of course, but just because he likes it doesn't mean it's compulsory. Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665920652403665430noreply@blogger.com
