Ah well, seems England are out of the World cup :( I didn't watch the game as I had a busy day and was catching up on phone calls and housework until late.
Yesterday was not so good all round really. Ceri had an appointment with his consultant and that didn't bring much joy. The results of his recent CT scan were in. Seems he's had more 'silent' strokes since the major 4 years ago. There are more areas of ischaemic damage on the right and left lobes, and some changes to the white matter indicating deterioration to small blood vessels. He's changed his meds again :roll: but no change to the prognosis. I have to just come to terms with his condition. Vascular cognitive impairment, with step-down progression to further dementia in time. Upsetting as it is, we know what we are dealing with and are going to put things in place to protect us both. I need to see a solicitor about getting power of attorney and contact social services (again!) re. day care and respite. They weren't very helpful last time, but things may have changed.
Back to happier stuff- the weather is fine and dandy, going to have a BBq after the Wales South Africa rugby game tomorrow, I'm going to have a few glasses of vino and say s*d the world! :lol:
Both my fur babes are quiet and full of food right now, so I'm off to have a shower and get dressed. Laters peeps! x
