Monday was not a good day for Isobel. It took until 3am to convince her to take her Sunday night medication. At about 7am she said that she did not want to eat, drink, wash, dress, clean her teeth, take her morning medicine or go as arranged to the hospice. Hours of discussion did not produce any agreement although she did begin to drink at about noon. (Medical support was given to us during this period). In the early afternoon a small fit involving trembling for no more than ten seconds but no loss off consciousness was seen.
Isobel's friend June arrived at about half two, and Isobel ate a couple of the biscuits she brought. Isobel and June went for a short walk and called in on Ursula. Ursula's husband drove them home. A little later June drove Isobel down to Hall Place where she had another short walk. Isobel's language was much calmer when June was present.
In the evening Isobel ate a large meal of cheese and onion flan, boiled potatoes and peas. Isobel refused to take her evening medicine. She had a good nights sleep with no disturbance.
