Re: not coping

thanks @Eve7 @Snowie

it is only a mild case and so far i am still negative but i am exhausted from constantly cleaning.
he honestly is worse then living with a child. have to constantly wipe down benches, spray geln 20 and disinfect because he doesnt wash his hands or needs to be remined, doesnt cover is mouth when coughing or sneezing either so we are both wearing face masks now except when hes in his room or im in mine.
im more tired then i expected to be and forget sometimes how much work he is when at home all the time.
i went to start cleaning but i gave up with that. just washing though to avoid infections on pops hankies etc

its going to be a long week and now i might have to cancel appts this week even if i stay negative because pop cantattend the day program for 2 weeks because of covid but he cannot attend these appts so my supports are all gone as well that i had arranged with my support workers etc too

Re: not coping

Sounds like it is going to be a hard few weeks for you @outlander

You can only do what you can. Wearing a face mask is a good idea even inside the house.

I hope you don't have to cancel your appointments.

Re: not coping

always seems to come at the worst timing @Snowie the fact he cant care for himself makes it incredibly hard. anyone else would be able to just stay home and i could go out and do what i need to do. i dont have it or any symptoms of it so trying to stay away s much as possile

Re: not coping

I know how hard it makes it for you @outlander

I just hope you can stay in the clear

Can your mum look after him when you have your appointments?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

I am sorry about that @outlander . Can you leave him home alone while you attend your appointments?
