When I arrived at lunchtime today Simon was in bed sleeping like a baby, it transpires that he had been given an anti-depressant that was far too strong for him. He managed a bit of lunch, but was out for the count all afternoon. At tea-time we found him sitting up, but still obviously drowsy. The medical staff were keeping a close eye. Needless to say, he won't be taking those horse pills again.
Best news today, we have been given a book full of access taxi vouchers worth up to $30 a piece, there are 80 vouchers and we have to make them last for six months. This will cover our trips home to Brighton at weekends for around 5 months. We only have to pay 25% of the fare, so about $30 a week rather than the $120 that I have been paying. We could even go further afield, and I am considering a trip to McLaren Vale for our wedding anniversary next week.
I am deeply impressed by the SA government in funding this access transport scheme. It is neat when you see your tax going to good use. We are also grateful to our social worker for arranging this for us.
We will be at home on Saturday and Sunday afternoon if any colleagues would like to pass by. Look us up in the white pages. Simon has only seen family recently and is getting a bit fretful about that and other things (hence the horse pills).
Love Marian xx
