Caring...

So here I am, at work. I am the sole person responsible for my client's care, who is currently bed bound. She has no voluntary movement, apart from one arm and above her neck. It's a little scary!

Once I know her routine, it will be fine - but it's just learning it, and remembering all the little things that you do for yourself without thinking.

Oh! And I had my first poo experience this morning for this stint of care work. Lucky me.

I am in a small town called Horsham, in West Sussex...about an hour train ride from central London. I get set times off, and so a short wandered into the main street - and LOTS of reading! Otherwise, I am doing little tasks, or just needing to be around. LOTS of reading!

I burnt the first big meal tonight. Oh dear!

Here for a week or 2. We will see who gets sick of who first!!
