UPDATE ON MUM

08/03/2007 by Ted.

EVENING OF 8TH MARCH 2007. GOOD NEWS AGAIN. THIS MORNING MUM LOOKED WELL AND FELT WELL FROM THE START. DURING THE DAY SHE HAS EATEN ALL THE MEALS AND ENJOYED THEM. SHE HAS ATTENDED TO HER OWN WASHING AND TOILET VISITS AND HAS SPENT THE DAY IN THE CHAIR WITHOUT FATIGUE. SHE REALLY SEEMS TO BE ON THE MEND.

THIS MORNING SHE HAD HER “WALKER” RETURNED TO HER FROM STORE.  IT HAD BEEN PUT THERE WHEN SHE ENTERED ST.GEORGE’S BECAUSE SHE THEN DID NOT NEED IT AND DID NOT THINK SHE EVER WOULD.  NOW IT IS DOING STERLING SERVICE - SHE SAYS IT MAKES HER FEEL REALLY SAFE WHEN SHE IN ON HER FEET.

SHE IS STILL CONTENT TO STAY IN HER ROOM IN HER NIGHTIE. I SUPPOSE IT MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR HER WITH TOILETTING ETC., BUT IT ALSO ENABLES HER TO SLEEP WHICH SHE IS STILL DOING QUITE A LOT DURING THE DAY.  SHE IS ALSO SLEEPING WELL AT NIGHT THOUGH SHE REGULARLY WAKENS UP IN THE EARLY HOURS TANGLED UP IN HER BLANKETS AND PILLOWS AND HAS TO RING FOR HELP TO GET STRAIGHT AGAIN. SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW SHE GETS INTO SUCH A TANGLE.

BUT TODAY SHE HAS BEEN SMILING AND TALKING AGAIN. SHE LISTENED TO PART OF THE NEWS ON HER RADIO BUT SWITCHED IT OFF SOON IN DISGUST.  NOW SHE IS LISTENING TO HER FAVOURITE AUDIO TAPES INSTEAD.

WHEN I LEFT HER THIS EVENING SHE ASKED ME PARTICULARLY TO SEND YOU ALL HER LOVE “ON THE BLOG”.

MORE TOMORROW,

LOVE TO ALL,

TED.
