Thanks for birthday wishes

I would like to thank everyone for my birthday wishes last month, had a lovely day.   I have not blogged for such a long time, I just don't seem to have the time or anything interesting to talk about as each day is the same as the day before.

We did enjoy see our granddaughter and her three children in August, they stayed for

His wife Jen

Chance of a break with the carers support group

I belong to my local carers support group and they rang to say they are going to the country from the 6th Oct -11th Oct and did I need a break. Do I need a break!!!! I sure do.

I have plenty of time to try and change his mind as I have said yes and we will see what happens.   I do need a break and everyone, including our doctor as tried to explain to Bill that I need to recharge my batteries

First Time Blog For Me

Well it is over a year since my husband Bill had his stroke, we were on holiday in the UK only 2 weeks when it happened. It was May 25th, we got to the hospital and the doctor said she thought he was having a stroke and was sending him for an x-ray, well he came back semi-unconscious. He had the big one while at the x-ray dept.   He was in hospital for 4 months, went from hospital to airport, from airport to hospital when we got home to Australia. Another month in hospital, he has
