Edna is - well not content - but accepting of the fact that she can't go home until a robust care package is in place. She even accepts that the district nurse needs to manage her new medication. She has even admitted that she needs help getting dressed - although that is the thing she finds hardest to accept.
I think she os still 'debating' with the nurses about chaging her clothes and what needs washing. But I did manage to get her to put clean ones on this afternoon . I think the nurse had tried to get her to put clean clothes on this morning and she refused. I feel I cheived something in getting her to chnage her clothes.
I have asked the sister if it would be OK for Edna to go out for a few hours on Easter Day so Edna will be coming to lunch with us - something she is very pleasaed about - and so am I. Hopefully she will get back into the a mindset that says she CAN go out and doesn't have to sit in her room all the time.
She was still full of stories of impossible events, still convinced someone is messing with her stuff. Apparnetly her teeth got lost today - and turned up on top of the bed. Her purse is now in the seat of her walker.
I have the feeling that Edna will be discharged just as my booking with QE comes to an end. NOT having any work may be useful while she gets settled into a new routine.
