My wife came out of hospital in October, where she'd been for eighteen weeks, after a fall injured her back. Because she already had MS, her mobility is very limited, she gets around the house with the help of a walking frame. She needs the stair-lift I had installed for her so she can get upstairs. Consequently, I do the cooking, cleaning, the laundry, the shopping and look after the garden.
I've had to cut my golf games down to once a week, as I don't like leaving her for too long, although I've always got my phone and she has this panic alarm to summon immediate help, if required, (there's a key box on the wall outside, so responders can get into the house if necessary). I'm hoping to get back to playing three times a week soon, as she's getting more confident about being on her own for a few hours. Fortunately, I'm reasonably fit and can cope with it all, I can't afford to be old, otherwise, we'd be in a bit of a mess. I'll be 85 in April.
