The only perk of being old


 
As you probably know, I have been feeling really unwell since I had RSV and this has coincided with a severe fibromyalgia flare from helping my sister move.

My Aged Care case manager came and visited me last week and she could see I wasn't coping too well with everything. 

She told me that I could have a cleaner come weekly instead of fortnightly from next week onwards. I was truly blessed to hear that.

I can have one of the beds changed each visit and alternate other chores like stovetop cleaning and shower cleaning.

It is good timing for me too. My Roombas have all died together... they seem to have a 2 year lifetime..

Anyway, knowing help is coming has lifted my spirits.  I guess getting the Aged Care Home Care package is the only perk of being old...

  1. So glad you are able to get some help with cleaning - that is indeed a perk of getting older, I think! I'm sure there are others as well. ((hugs)) and prayers for you!

  2. That's wonderful news, and definitely a perk of getting older. I'm glad you're getting the help. And I think a freshly-cleaned home is so relaxing. Visiting from the Hearth and Soul linkup.

    1. Oh yes, it's amazing how a freshly cleaned home is so relaxing. I do feel out of sorts when my house is dirty and untidy. Thanks for sharing a cuppa with me today, Jennifer.
