Not much change, behaviour wise, seen just yet. People still wanting to do what they've always done.

We've recently moved into double figures, local population 12,641, so not certain how that compares to your nec o'woods.

Whether the testing station is increasing the figure is unknown. They don't take address details but do record the testing station location.
The district I'm in has a population of 162k and the town where I live accounts for 61k of that. Some 21% are aged 65 and over.

I'm wondering why Mrs. M is attaching blue and brown wire to the metal parts of my chair:laugh:
Trays of winter pansies are waiting on me....
hopefully cut the grass after the Giro as well.
Test out the leg:ohmy:
Are they strong enough though?

Just make sure and check there's no glue on the chair, before sitting down!

Did the leg test go okay?

'Morning :hello:

It's Mrs B's turn for the flu jab today so setting off across town after a cuppa:cuppa:

Grey day today - someone's stolen the sun, at least it's dry!

I bet you've said it doesn't hurt, if you've already had your jab.

Grey and a tad misty here.
It doesn't hurt, just a little bit of tenderness later on. It's like every jab though as some people can react badly to it.

The hardest bit was getting Mrs B to the surgery. It can be difficult to get someone with dementia up and out of the house for a set time. We'll see how Mrs B reacts to any tenderness now that her dementia has worsened. In past years she was fine.

Just seems to be more people saying it hurt this year. Whether that's because more have had the jab, earlier, this year or not, I don't know.

Isn't getting someone into a routine a good thing. Or is that something they'll not want?

I’ve read about people who always had a routine and a habit of ‘everything in it’s place’ masking the early signs of dementia and being able to cope quite well for a fair amount of time after diagnosis. Mrs B never did routine or tidy so she is a nightmare. :sad:

Of course, Mrs B is now a few years post diagnosis and on heavy duty meds so when those elements are added to the mix it makes my job v v difficult.

Although it’s not what I want, I can see a time when I won’t be able to manage the situation.

The fact that I need to have quality of life can’t be allowed to go unnoticed.

Well if you're not there/able to look after her, who will.
Just don't forget to take care of yourself.
