EVENING OF 20TH FEBRUARY 2007. SAW MUM THIS AFTERNOON. SHE WAS TIRED BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT HAD HER AFTER-DINNER SLEEP BUT OTHERWISE WAS OK. WHILE I WAS THERE THE MANAGERESS BROUGHT IN HER NEW MATTRESS WHICH CONFORMS TO HER SHAPE WHEN SHE LIES ON IT.  HOPEFULY THIS WILL PREVENT HER SLIPPING DOWN THE BED INTO AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION WHILE SHE IS ASLEEP AND TOGETHER WITH THE SEDATIVE SHOULD GUARANTEE HER A GOOD NIGHT’S REST.

HER NEW ROOM WILL BE READY ON THURSDAY AND SHE WILL BE MOVING INTO IT ON FRIDAY.  THERE IS ALREADY A TELEPHONE POINT IN THE ROOM SO IT WILL BE JUST A MATTER OF  ASKING BT TO TRANSFER THE LINE THERE TO HER NAME AND NUMBER.  I WILL TRY TO GET THIS ORGANISED FOR FRIDAY BUT IF THERE IS AN INTERRUPTION IN CONTACTING MUM BY PHONE AROUND THURSDAY/FRIDAY THAT IS THE REASON.

THIS LEADS TO ANOTHER POINT.  MUM NOW GETS INTO BED AROUND 6PM IN THE EVENING AND WHEN IN BED CANNOT REACH THE TELEPHONE. COULD WE THEREFORE RING HER BEFORE 6PM.  AT THE MOMENT SHE IS IN HER ROOM ALL DAY SO WILL NORMALLY BE AVAILABLE FROM AROUND 10AM UNTIL NOON AND 2PM UNTIL 6PM FOR TELEPHONE CALLS.

MORE TOMORROW,

LOVE TO ALL,

TED.

MORNING OF TUESDAY 20TH FEBRUARY 2007 VISITED MUM THIS MORNING AND SHE IS AS BRIGHT AS A BUTTON.  THE SLEEPING PILL PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY GAVE HER A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP AND SHE HAD A LUXURIOUS BATH TO FOLLOW. SHE HAD A WEETABIX BREAKFAST AND I LEFT HER SETTLED IN HER CHAIR SURROUNDED BY PILLOWS AND PLANNING HER MOVE TO THE NEW “ROOM WITH A VIEW” LATER THIS WEEK.
