Well i have sorted something out today.After fish and chips,Mrs P went out for coffee with a pal.Me and him were dropped off at home.I could not face my fourth day sitting,so i got my gardening clothes on and weeded our drive .Our great neighbour came out and i had a flash of brilliance,could i get back to helping him with his garden.I used to do it before cancer.You see father in law is not mobile he cannot walk more than twenty paces and is out of puff.He will not sit in the wheelchair so taking him out is a nightmare.He cannot be left for more than two and a half hours on his own.So if one of us wants to go out,the other stays in ,now i have just done my fourth on the trot looking after him.I cannot sit on my rear end reading all the time,but i can garden next door and keep popping my head in to our conservatory.I think i might have found my solution to being cooped up with him,so simple,oh its going to be a good summer,gardening.Its lifted my spirits already and i have weeded three quarters of next doors block driveway.
