Isobel was up early today and Iona came over to help get her ready for the hospice - we actually got to the hospice a couple of minutes early for a change. They did not get round to painting the dough models made last week but Isobel won another bingo prize. Iona and I got some of the backlog of everyday matters cleared while Isobel was at the hospice. Iona collected her at 3pm as I was busy enjoying myself washing the kitchen floor. The hospice staff commented that she seemed tired.

I tried to chase up the neurologist appointment at Maidstone Hospital but found out that the consultants secretary is away until Thursday, rather than returning today as I had expected. I do feel at the moment that none of us fully understands what is happening to Isobel and this does not make planning easy. Isobel said that she had a slight headache first thing this morning but did not need painkillers for it, it had gone soon after breakfast.

Isobel had steak pie, boiled potatoes and peas for her evening meal. After we had watched University Challenge, Isobel went upstairs to lie down while watching television and soon fell asleep, this happens a lot now.
