Marginal improvment

Edna was lying on the bed when I got their today. I went at 2.00 aving told work I was leaving at 1.00pm She had been unwell over lunch . I think it is just the nebulliser making a good job of clearing her chest - but it could also have been a fortisip making her feel a bit sick. They are meant to be sipped (as the name implies) but she doesnt really like them and so she tries to get them down as quick as she can

I had another complete change of clothes waiting to be taken away and washed today but I did take the last two loads back. All except knickeers and oen top which didnt dry. Sdaly she didnt have any clean knickers in her drawer - so she will have to go commando tomorrow - and I know it wont be the first time! Ihave picked uo some more clothes - including knickers - some chocolate and her crocheting.

She perked up after I got there. She very quickly needed to go to the loo and when that was done they left her in the chair rather than putting her on the bed. I am a little worried about her and the loo. She says it comes on very suddenly - and clearly she is worried she will wet herself as she did the other day. But in herslef she did seem much better.

However she was still telling me tales of 'planet Edna' including the fact that Doris had gone home the previous day. I got regaled with the tale of how she had moved beds before being discharged. But towards the end of the visit she was talking abut hwo she had been told Doris had died. She also accepted that she may be remembering things she did a long time ago - but not realising how much time has passed since she did them.

Her final comment was about how worried she is about the way she keeps forgetting things and getting confused.

Compared with how she was when I was trying to get her changed after she wet herself she is much MUCH better.

I am so thankful that so far she has shown no sign of turning into Mrs Hyde
