I don't have a new job to start. My old job might have freelance possibilities once I feel ready - but its really hard as it takes me out of the house 15 hours a day plus. So I would need really good support in place. The other potential job that I was talking about, I went to meet that Lady and we got on well, but she is right in. the middle of restructuring hr business and not ready yet to know what she needs, but anyway that would be a couple of hours drive (4 hour a day commute) as well......so again I would need really strong support in place. She was really suggesting I start up something similar to her where I am - which I am in no way in a state to do. I only really have the energy for mindless work, Marley seems to take all my primal life force at the moment. With his BG starting to level out, I could see light at the end of the tunnel but then fleas hit and I feel completely in the depths of wading through treacle.
I have read the article about having a full time job and it being possible but I can't see how this really could work for Marley.With his hypos I wouldnt have known it was going that way by +1, when she leaves for work. Generally I was having to get up 4 am for that job to say leave at 5. Sometimes even earlier, so I couldnt really wake up 2 hours earlier than I leave else I'd get no sleep. Ive done that job for 24 years so though its not menial, I can do it half asleep. But I just dont feel its safe for Marley for me to do it. Just feels like every time I leave him thee is that potential. Most the time he would be fine, but that one time in a hundred, he wouldnt be.
Say I did have the morning figured out and someone has done the PMPS, set the feeders up and done the injection - and say I am home by 830 ish to do the +2 test. If he was having a hypo and that meant I couldnt go to sleep until half past midnight and then I had to get up at 330 am/4 - that is going to kill me. That job is pretty high street/high pressure full on hard work for all the hours I am there - even though its second nature to me, the pressure is always full on, fast paced you have to have full concentration at all times to adapt to the ever changing nature of what is going on.
So I still dont really understand how it could work.
I dont know what the answer is. I still haven't figured out the feeders as he changes his sleeping location after a few days. When I am here I can see where he settles and pop it next to him. I was hoping he would start to connect the sound with food and then I could move them further away to say the landing so that whichever place he sleeps the food would be in one place. Even if the feeders are a foot away from him, he doesnt seem to connect that the noise of them opening or moving means food and often I have to point it out to him. I do have to say that when he has had hypos he usually is up and about and comes downstairs so hopefully in the situation he would look for it, but say he was sleeping in the guest room and the food was in my bedroom, he might go downstairs straightway and not clock there was food for him in the other room.
