Isobel woke at 8am and made a leisurely start to the day. Iona came over at about 9.30. Isobel was only just bathed and dressed when June arrived at 10.30. June brought a large chocolate cake, we ate half during her visit. Iona left after tea and cake; June stayed until almost lunchtime. Isobel's speech was fairly good. Elaine 'phoned from Maidstone Hospital and said that Dr Sadler would see Isobel on the 29th. There would not be an MRI scan before the meeting.

After lunch Isobel was very tired and lay on the sofa. Jackie from Scouts called, having only just heard about Isobel's illness, but Isobel said she was too tired to see her (Jackie will probable arrange a post-hospice meeting next week).

Isobel moved back to bed soon after 4pm. She ate her dinner in bed, which is unusual. She had chicken in basil sauce with chips. Iona returned in the early evening and stayed for about an hour. Isobel briefly came downstairs for about three quarters of an hour. Isobel's walking and balance today has been rather better than yesterday. After going upstairs to bed again, Isobel helped to finish off June's chocolate cake at about 10pm. She did not go to sleep until well after 11pm.
