There’s a New Primary Carer in Town
So, this week in my life with MS, my eldest son took over my care for a few days whilst my wife went off to a Yoga retreat.
This is the tale.
Any of u with major needs [ie I can’t get out/into bed on my own anymore] at least have this extended family facility? Otherwise I’d have to find a respite place somewhere.

And that’s why you have children. To help when shit happens. I don’t have any children…I wonder who will care for me when I decline.

Well, that’s not why I had children, or indeed a partner! My youngest is off living his life – hurrah.
Many partners disappear when faced with the future horrors of MS. So I’m pretty damned lucky. My decline has been unusually steep.
Luckily this doesn’t seem to be the norm.
Independent living for me is no longer an option. Which is [swear word ] annoying as I am somewhat of an independent contrary nature!!!
