Having problems with message search?
Hi Linda,
We also have been where you are now. My hubby was also hit by a GBM at the begining of this year. We like you have kids (10, 13, 15). Before and soon after Stefans Surgery I was told that he wouldn't be able to be left on his own again as his memory, cordination and balance was terrible and that I would have to give up my work. He has however proved the docs wrong as after 1 month I was able to go back to work 2 days a week and now am back to my ususal 4 days a week. Stef is also a builder and was told he would never be capable of using power tools, but for the last 2 months has been able to do work on our house and my sisters. Often he can only do 3 or 4 hours at a time, but given the earlier prognoses he has far better than we were led to believe he would ever be. So I guess what I am saying is dont give up hope yes it will be tough and while Stef is not the person he used to be and does have to be constantly reminded about what he needs to do and
we can have to same conversations 2 or 3 times before it sinks in things will slowly get better.
As others have said go to WINZs and ask what benefits you are entiled to (we get invalids, accomidation supplements, family tax credit and disabilty allowance) as if you ask they have to tell you what you can apply for.
Good luck
Susan
