Hi Nicola, I suggest you contact the Helpline or Citizen's Advice Bureau, if you need advice earlier than the helpline can provide. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk Carers UK provides information, support and advice to carers.

Hi Jane, Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear about your husband and the massive life change for you both as a result. Congratulations on losing 3 stone. I hope your foot heels quickly. Since you can't walk far or drive, I would make sure there aren't any or many unhealthy treats in the house, th...
