And yes, perhaps my wife is a little bit more dependent on me for certain things but, certainly now, since she's been diagnosed and things have improved so much, that has certainly become less and less. And in fact now we've changed our routine again slightly so we tend to eat early evening so I come home from work and [wife's name], my wife, will have cooked already. And we all sit down together as a family and eat rather than her just cooking for my daughter and then me putting her to bed and then me cooking and we eating later in the evening. We tend to now eat all together as a family, which is great, and really good fun and I love it.
But it's only recently that my wife has felt able to, to actually do that, and feel confident with her mobility and, and abilities to do that. So, so that's been a benefit, of it being diagnosed and going on the drugs really. So it's been a flip, there's been a flip round from, from before where my wife was quite dependent on me doing a lot of the cooking, which was fine because I was used to it anyway, to her now doing quite a bit and me being able to come home from work and not have to have to worry about it too much. And it gives us more time in the evening then, because everything's all done and dusted before our daughter goes to bed so as soon as she's in bed we're able to get on and do things that we want to do together in the evening.
But it sounds as though you've been able to be quite flexible?
Yes, and I think you have to be. You can't be too rigid about these things because you have to take every day as it comes. And certainly with, with the way my wife has been, some days are good days and some days are bad days. Today, fortunately, she hasn't too bad but these cold days can be, she finds quite difficult and I know that if it's been a cold day, that she'll have probably had, found it quite a struggle because it effects her. So I know, in the back of my mind, that yeah I'm probably going to have to do more when I come home but I'm fine, I'm flexible with that. Just get on with your life, don't you? You have to do what you have to do and I don't mind. You know it's, I've always been quite adaptable at dealing with situations and I feel, just feel, you have to, really. |
