Home Help no.2

A lot has happened since my last post, we'll in my world it has. Or maybe it hasn't really!! anyway,
On my 2nd home helper now. 1st one was brilliant but got head hunted for another/better job. Very sad she left, cried a lot (sounds dramatic I know) I was absolutely gutted and hated her for a week and keep saying to her how devastated I was. I got over it a bit and forgave her.
She is lovely and worked 4weeks notice when she only really had to give us 1 week, she didn't have to give us any more than that.
We became friends over the 3mnths she was with us, so will hopefully see each other now & again.

I don't think people realise what a home help means, not just to the elderly, disabled or even people with social and learning difficulties but for people like ME!! (who are people like me anyway?, the 'odd's'!!)

A home helper isn't just there to do a job! they become part of your families life. They become part of your life, they become your friend, your companion, your support, your freedom/independance!....basically everything in your daily life. Its so so hard to
a) get used to the idea of that in the first place.
b) find the right person (takes a very kind, caring & dedicated person)
c) trust someone, let your guard down and be yourself. TRUST.

Without a home help I would be 'fucked' I basically wouldn't be able to do anything, due to the risks to me & Jamie. It is NEVER worth putting my Jamie at risk.
