Steve and I went to visit Edna. Steve hasn't seen her for a week and thinks she has lost weight since he last saw her. I can believe that because it is obvious from the food charts she isn't eating. And she was adamant that she wont be bullied into eating.
She seemed alert and orientated but told us that she had got herself up at about 5.30 this morning (which she isn't capable of doing) and had been sitting out since then. But she told Steve (while I was getting the chairs) that the nurses got her up about 8.30 - which sounds much more realistic.
She also told us that she had been poorly overnight and that her bed had got covered with blood from her wound. The sister looking after her knew nothing about anything like that - so I dont think it happened - although her wound IS oozing and it is possible she is exaggerating for effect, or that she hallucinated the blood soaked bed. She seems to be mixing fact with fantasy.
Steve is not a good or natural visitor - and his grandmother's state upsets him so we didnt stay long. I am gving myself another day off tomorrow so I wont see her until Tuesday.
