Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

Bearing mind her age, recovery may take some time. I could not cope with looking after her on my own, however often nurses pop in for giving assistance with bathing etc. Both my brothers work, one full time, and one works about ten days a month as a long-distance lorry driver.

 

[Speicher]

Ten years ago, when my father was very ill and needed a lot of help, my mother was also recovering from a stroke, and I had a demanding job with unsocial hours, working weekends and Bank holidays.

This time I am not working, and am getting some support and help from one of my brothers. He is nearly seventy, his wife has not been well, but he is very supportive when he can be.

Yay! Back on line on the laptop!
all round!

 

[Arch]

Yay!

My achey ankle has become a sort of grumbling ache in both legs. Anyone got a 5'3" length of large tubigrip bandage?

Honestly, if I was a horse, I'd be Copydex by now.

 

[Lisa21]

Oh heck, I hope your Mum is soon feeling better Speicher..and over mothers day too bless her. Shes lucky to have you. And your brother.

 

[Lisa21]

No that's just the way I walk

FTFY


I'm going to call it a day now and get a shower, sorting computers will be the death of me.

She fell at about 5am on Monday. I had visited her a week before.

[Night Train]

Has anyone heard from Jo yet?

No, but her profile says she logged on yesterday.
I hope she is ok.

 

[TheDoctor]

I saw her logged on, but that's as far as it went.
I have some iced co**ee in the fridge

I've broken my cable modem, so I'll be off-line until Saturday when the replacement comes through.

Plenty of time to take your bike for another walk then

It appears the work situation is even more complicated than I thought, 'staff' positions are being hit first, 17 redundancies, then us shop floor workers are being put on a rotating shift of 'days' and 'nights' which means a reduction in pay as we get no shift pay for 'day' shift.
ie- one week 8am til 4.30pm the following week 10pm til 6am then back again.

Once this has been sorted the 'management' are then looking to cut the numbers on the shop floor, agency, temporary workers first, then full timers

 

[Night Train]

That doesn't sound too good, Potsy. What is it that you do?
