Many Thanks for your understanding & support, ladies .... a problem shared is a problem halved!
It is almost one of the 'taboo' areas - like mental/depression issues used to be ..... but it should be out in the open, cos chances are, your partner/parent could be next! It slowly comes on .... so it pays to know what to 'look for'! The earlier it is picked up, the better it can be treated.
A small win today! No leaks overnight! YAY! The washing machine gets a rest!
There ARE funny moments too tho - like when hubby tried to use the Remote Control to make a phone call ..... Then he suddenly decided he didn't need showers anymore early in Lockdown (as he wasn't doing anything! I guess that is logical?) ...... and would go for a week without a shower! Luckily, he's never had body odour, so that is a real bonus! He is back showering every day now tho with the incontinence issue!
It doesn't matter WHAT we see on TV - he says ''Seen this - It was on last night." (Even the news! LOL)
We installed a new clothesline some years ago - the 'umbrella one' that you can remove if you want to free up space ...... well it is permanent now - he 'adjusted it' so it fitted into the hole left from the cut down Hills Hoist - and forced it into the pipe (after cutting a bit off the bottom of the new one) and the end result - I have to stand on a plastic box with a wooden insert so that I can reach the clothesline to hang stuff - as it won't come down 'low enough' for me! :( grrrr. And I am not 'that' short ..... 5ft 3"
He bought an 'outside shed' and erected it on our rear deck (off our lounge, one level up) and slowly migrated ALL OUR TOOLS from the garage into the shed! So now, when I need a tool in the garage, I have to go upstairs & grab it, then go downstairs to use it! It all made perfect sense to him ........ NOT!
Oh dear - the tales I could tell ......
