Today during my lunch time I had a call to prepare the respite stay in Tunisia (from September  23 to October 22). I prepare it as holidays and also present it to my partner as holidays. 

Just after that I had a call of one MC we visited and liked because of its size (14 residents) and architecture (you can see outside from everywhere). The staff was also very welcoming. They have again a place for temporary stay and my partner will have priority. It could be in 2 weeks but as I prepared everything for September (more help), I decided to plan a 2 weeks stay in November. And two longer in January and March in case We don’t have a place at this moment.

So at the end of November, he will have done 3 trials and  we should know what is the best for him. I know that he will be able to tell us what he prefers. 

It is a good news and now I have a better view on the next months. It helps. I am someone who likes (needs) to plan and uncertainty stresses me a lot.

    Great news French! You've put in loads of time and effort to find these options - I'm glad you've reached the next stage of info gathering, through experience, that will get you to the next stage in decision making.

    Uncertainty makes me anxious too, so I can imagine the relief, at least for today.
