I could almost call this a Winter Wonderland. I suppose snow does have its good side, although I sometimes have problems to find it. However, my freezer is full and my refrigerator so we will not starve. Today I realised that since the last week of November I have not been anywhere outside my home. My excursions to town, the local castle and otherwise along the river are long gone. Thank goodness for my Front and back gardens and the birds that have adopted them as their winter feeding home.
Today they stayed under the roof of their feeding place to avoid the falling snow. By the end of the day the food store in the middle of their house was completely empty, but I still have ten kilo of food to last for a while.
There were also some sparrows that discovered their own private feeding place, and the snow was still falling. It snowed until mid afternoon and now we have evening, so it has started to snow again.
Mr. Swiss had his usual morning visit from the helping assistants and I am so glad for their help. They will also be coming on Saturday and Sunday. I got a new supply of medicine for the next week. It is really well organised. I also discovered that my organisation is getting better. We have a wheelchair at home and today I organised it for Mr. Swiss. Luckily we have enough room in the appartment to use it. There is no reason now to have a perfectly designed living room, it now has to be practical. enough open spaces to move in without having an accident by coliding with pieces of furniture and now organising the table in the kitchen to push Mr. Swiss to his eating place instead of complicated moving from the walker to the chair. I have already prepared him for bed and will call in later with his medicine for the night. One thing has become quite clear, and it was always a belief for me. When your marry and have a partner you care for them always as long as it is possible. I have also reliased that such situations can be a burden on the nerves, but with time and patience, the situation adjusts itself.
I am really not sure if this is a blackbird that appears in my garden regularly. Either it has put on weight or it is something bigger.
I am now ready for a television evening and some relaxation and I wish you the same for the rest of the day.

I’m glad to hear you two are adjusting to the new situation. Hoping Mr. Swiss’ appetite is back. I also hope that you get a chance to get out of the house a little.

I am so glad you have assistants to help you with Mr Swiss every day. You are a strong woman, Pat. The birds come by each day to check on you, I am sure. No kitties visiting recently?

Good Morning (now)!
I am sorry that it is so much work. I know that it is difficult even without mobility difficulties. I hate to say it, but I found caring for someone to be very frustrating. There was significant help, but I got frustrated anyway. I would not have done it any other way though.

It is very trying, especially when you are dealing with someone that not only has physcical problems but also mental instability.

I believe that patience is one of the requirements of love. ❤ It may take Mr. Swiss a while to settle in. I imagine he has a lot of very mixed feelings about everything right now after all that's happened to him in such a short time.

I also think he is somewhat confused with the new situation. I have found that I can managed OK with the physical stress, I have learned a lot, especially from my Spitex helpers. I do have some problems with the mental side of it all but here I am also learning.
