I’ve got good neighbours @Dimity plus one very good friend.  Neighbour will be driving me to and from hospital, he has offered to feed my cats night Im in hospital plus morning before I come home.  Friend has offered to help with anything.  Will be asking neighbour to change the litter for few weeks as gets very heavy plus to avoid bending over.

earlier this year I bought some strong plastic plates from local op-shop which I put cats wet food onto.  I bought a handi grip recently to use to pick anything up with.  Dry food goes into a cat feeding tower as my male vacuums dry food otherwise.

the last 2 weeks have travelled quickly.  Was hoping to work on another set of drapes before having my eyes done, doubt it will happen.  As my therapist has taught me, most plans are not set in concrete and can easily be changed.  I moved in 11 months ago, few months delay isn’t going to have negative impact
