Going home?

I haven't been to see Edna today. I did tell her I wouldn't be in every day this week - and I have the beginnings of a cold which I don't want to give her anyway.

I read some of the leaflets from the Alzheimers Society today. The descriptions of delusions was VERY familiar. In fact I was able to relate a lot of what I read to Edna's behaviour.

I have just rung the ward to let Edna know I won;t be going in, and her consultant is talking about her going home on Monday. They are not doing much for her - and she is very fed up. I think that was the cause of the paranoia that was so obvious last night.

The OT's are trying to get hold of me - but not the social workers as far as I know. I just hope this discharge IS planned properly - and that help will be available, and that Edna will be agreebale to accepting the help.

At least the nebulisers have been replaced with inhalers - so her medictaion will be easier for her. But life would be so much easier if the Fosters staff could supervise medication.
