Better transfers
Physically Anita is making very good progress from her poor state post Christmas. It’s probably the most rapid improvements that I have seen her make in rehab and is testament to the good help she is getting. She now only requires one carer and is able to assist more and more in her transfers. Her back pain has also diminished greatly. Her mental attitude though at times is just like before Christmas, and not being used to it, I still find it difficult. I have not got to let myself be drawn into her down days, I can’t be responsible for making her happy or her life. To be honest I have some selfishness towards my own life and can only be there offering support and balance. At times there is just a small chink of light that she could see things differently. If I sound negative it is a reflection of how best I handle the situation, not to be emotionally swung too much about her overall state.
