During Spouse's stay I was welcomed by the staff because I was relieving
them of personal care. I also took in his meals and drinks. I went in for
five or six hours during the day and two or three in the evening. I asked
if
it were acceptable and was told that it was no problem. That way I could
also be involved in the physiotherapist's, pain team's and consultant's
visits.

What an unexpected _treat_ for them!

They all said, in different ways, that they preferred to talk to wives as
well because men often forgot or didn't take notice of what they said.
