Knackered

We had a Tesco delivery due this morning, Steve was up, dressed and following it's progress in plenty of time. After pacing around the flat panicking, he eventually walked up to the car park. I know the numbering system here is confusing but I'm sure the driver would either find us or phone for more information. Steve met the van and escorted the driver to our flat.

Next, the plumber arrived, he's been here before and he was early so he arrived before Steve began to panic.

This evening Steve ordered fish and chips via Just Eat, again, after pacing the floor and following the delivery on his phone he went up to the car park again. He was convinced someone else would receive our delivery. Eventually he returned with the fish and chips and we were able to eat.  I did suggest he spoke to our Dr about his panicking but as usual he refused.

He must find this constant pacing and panicking exhausting, I certainly do.

His head phones arrived this morning but he has decided he doesn't need them so he is reading instead of watching YouTube. I've told him he must wear them otherwise the neighbours will complain again.

I was told by the Doctor that though he Can request mine to visit the Practice but cannot insist-Doctor also said unless he asks for help he is unable to do anything- and that he may deny any problem at all -But he did say please call him back or the police if I feel in danger!- I got the impression he may be aware of dementia or something x

It sounds exhausting for both of you. Hope his gout has improved.
Hope you have some fun outings with friends or family planned so you can have a break.

You seem to be the sane and sensible mind in this relationship, Hester. Hope things improve as you and Steve settle into your new situation.

LOL maybe you should be the one wearing head phones so that you can just tune out.

Walking with a list on.

Y'day I had to take my stick to lean on when I went out, today I don't need my stick but I can't walk in a straight line. Nemmin...
