She soon seemed much better - so I yet again pointed out to her tat it would probably hekp if she waited for the carers to arrive so they cluld help her get dressed.
Alma told me she was already to go to her appointment on Thursday, but decided not to go. Apparnetly she had also been already on Monday - but she wasn't due to go on Monday. So she WAS aware that it was twice a week not every fortnight - but confused about the start date - I think. The truth is I dont have a clue what she did or didnt undertsand. I offerred to go with her on Monday bt her commnet was ' What is there to be afraid of? Nothing really' So I am going to ring her on Monday at 11.30 and make sure she is ready to go.
I also founf out the girls had done some shopping for her. She couldnt give them a list becasue I had already got that -but they did get some tomatoes and other stuff for her. Now Ednas version is the girls offerred. Alma's version 9whihc I beleive) is that she told the girsl she didnt have any food in. However in front of Edna Alma said that the girls do NOT have time to do her shopping. I have told Edna I can do little bits and pieces for her when I go over if she is running out.
I have no idea what actually happened to make Edna not go on Thursday. I dont know if she will go on Monday or not. What I DO know is when I persauded her to let me go through her papers I found an unpaid Meals on Wheels invoice that was due on 8th June that she has no idea if she has paid or not.
I will sort that out on Monday - before I ring her to remind her of her hopsital appointment. I hope they open before 9.00 or I will have to ring from my mobile - which costs a bomb. I need a contract not PAYG.
Edna's problems are re-arranging my life.
