Hi allbwas just letting you know how brian is doing, he is better than I thought he would be still has problems with mobility but he has progressed from a frame in the day to a stick, but still uses the frame in the evening and morning. He has carers in 3 times a week to help him showervand get his breakfast while I am at work, but I have decided to finish work later this month as my daughter has been working from home but now has to go back to the office.therecare lots of things brian cannot do alone but we have a good team of OTS and physios that come out 3 times a week.i know it still going to be a long road but things are looking good.

I will find another job but with less hours a day hoping for about 3/4 hours a day looking forward to finishing as I am a carer so I feel I don't get a break hoping to get a career change lol

So that's a positive for you too, Karen, & I hope you find a job that you can enjoy more.
