It's Thursday night. We are both feeling much better and are settling back into life in Perth and our routine. There have been a few changes. Rog now has help each weekday morning to shower, dress and have breakfast - 2 hours each morning. I don't think he's very impressed by this really, but it is a huge help for me and I am feeling better for it.

We have both been getting some good nights sleep. Rog has been coming to bed earlier and this is helpful for me.

Another machine has entered the house, this time a 'cough assist' machine. Roger, with my help, goes on this machine morning and night. I think they are worried about what might still be on his lungs after his sickness in Melbourne.

I am now looking a tiles for the bathroom. I went to 5 places today!! Very tiring. Also looked at bathroom cabinets. In my spare time I had my hair cut!

I received a phone call from Bethesda Hospital today about respite for Roger. There isn't a bed available at the moment. I am sure it will work out just at the right time. More paperwork to do.

Roger is applying to get a Taxi subsidy, but this will mean another trip to the Doctor for more paperwork to be filled out.

Roger continues to work on his Dignity Therapy and the story of his life. I haven't got too involved in this but look forward to reading the finished manuscript which will be ready soon.
