And Fred was right to be proud of himself. Tuf luv works Sharron.

Encouraging independence as a strategy should be used more often. :-D

It doesn't appear to be very widely used does it?

:-D :-D :-Dslap dash obviously works Sharron

you method should be the benchmark for carers!!!! it's brilliant and it works :-D :-D

Love it:))

As you may have gathered, my practices as a carer can, at best, be described as slap-dash.

I don't sleep at night so I catch up with sleep in the morning as best I can and OH doesn't go downstairs very early if he is not working.

Fred, on the other hand, has booked as early a wake up call as he can and is beavering away downstairs doing whatever it is he does.

This morning the carers put his first lot of eye-drops in and told him the next should go in half an hour later,after they had gone,assuming,I suppose, that he would call up to us to do it.

Quite a bit later than that,OH went downstairs and Fred, with a bit of difficulty finding the words (left-side stroke) and tremendous pride, told him that he had administered his own eye-drops.

I know I should be down there caring but my slap-dash approach isn't half working.
