Amateur chiropodist

I have just got back form seeing Edna. When I got there she was distressed and breathless becasue she was trying to cut her own toenails. I'd suggested over the weekend that she needed to ask Alma to book her in with Jonathon (the chiropodist that visits Fosters) Either she forgot or didn't bother or couldn't wait .

So of course I had to try and take over - but luckily was able to persuade her I couldnt do it with her flimsy clippers - and flimsy is a good word to describe them. So tomorrow I have to ring Alam to ask her to get Edna an appointment.

Then when I have done that I have an invoice from Meals on wheels to pay, and I also want to ring Dr Ostler to find uout what has happened to Edna's appointment at the memory clinic. Edna denies having had any letter to do with that - but that doesnt mean she hasn't one. The memory clinics are pivotal in the managment of dementia. She has GOT to get to them even if I have to have a day off to get her there.

I also have a shopping list for her for the weekend. And I took her some money today that I took out of her acount on Monday.

I dont mind stuff that I can by phone or by finding a cash machine. I am getting a contract phone tomorrow so making phone calls during the day will be easier (assuming I can find a signal) Every hospital has a cahs machine - and most garages do as well. Plus a lot of shops give cash back with debit cards. So geting cash isnt a problem. Its going over there that is so time consuming and needs almost military like organisation.
