Not another fall @Shaz51 , was Mum admitted?  Hope you are able to get some sleep tonight.

A bit of relief for me today. I was able to qualify for carer payment. It takes the pressure off me in relation to work, particularly when I have had to drop everything to take him to the big smoke for treatment.

That would be a huge load off @Former-Member 

I don't know what we would do without it. 

[Shaz51]

@Former-Member  sooo gald you were  able to qualify for carer payment.

Hello @Determined 

[Former-Member]

How is Mum @Shaz51 ?

[outlander]

That is good news @Former-Member
You should also qualify for carers allowance as well

[Former-Member]

Yes @outlander believe I get the allowance too.

Mr Darcy going steady, possibly even a bit hype. He has finished the first cycle of chemo and now has a week off before the next cycle starts.
