UPDATE ON MUM

08/05/2007 by Ted.

EVENING OF 8TH MAY 2007.  A LITTLE LATE TONIGHT.  MUM HAD A DISTURBED NIGHT LAST NIGHT AND HAS BEEN VERY TIRED TODAY. HOWEVER SHE INSISTED ON TRYING TO STAY AWAKE SO THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT.  SHE WAS HELPED IN THIS BY A VISITS FROM HER FRIENDS GLADYS AND ALISON. AS SHE GOT THANKFULLY INTO BED TONIGHT SHE LOOKED BETTER AND HAD MORE COLOUR TO HER CHEEKS THAN EARLIER IN THE DAY.

DURING THE PAST WEEK HER APPETITE HAS BEGUN TO RETURN AND SHE FEELS HUNGRY. HOWEVER SHE REFUSES TO EAT SOLID THINGS LIKE SANDWICHES AND HAS BEEN SUPPLEMENTING HER YOGHURTS AND TRIFLES WITH CRISPS AND CHOCOLATES. THE COOK OFFERED HER MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY TODAY BUT SHE WOULD NOT EAT THEM.  HOWEVER HER DIET DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DEBILITATING EFFECTS ON HER AND SHE IS REASONABLY HAPPY WITH IT ALTHOUGH SHE DOES FROM TIME TO TIME FANCY SOMETHING SAVOURY FOR A CHANGE. YESTERDAY TEA WAS GREAT - A CORNISH PASTY WHICH SHE ATE WITH GUSTO AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED.

TONIGHT SHE SENDS HER LOVE TO YOU ALL AS USUAL,

ME TOO,

TED.
