This is a late posting of Thursday's blog - thanks to Rhoda for pointing out that I had forgotten Thursday! Isobel slept on the sofa until 4am when a smooth transfer upstairs was made. Isobel had no problems breakfasting, bathing and dressing, and she was at the hospice shortly after 10am. There was a bit of shouting when we arrived, as she did not want to be transported in by wheelchair - but her walking is so poor now that there is no alternative.

I collected Isobel from the hospice at 3pm. Apart from her very unsteady walking, she had a good day. Although she had a three course lunch at the hospice she was hungry when she came home and had some chocolate pudding. Louisa from the school called in for half an hour after work; Isobel enjoyed the conversation but towards the end she tired and her speech became confused.

For dinner Isobel had chicken and pasta. She went up to bed at about 9pm and fell asleep about half an hour later.
