Blog entries may become shorter now as they will concentrate on Isobel, not what the rest of us do. Just as well today, as a reaction set in to the efforts of the past few months and we all wasted a lot of time doing things really slowly and feeling tired.

Iona and I went in to see Isobel in the early afternoon. She had eaten breakfast and lunch. We gave her some tea and squash and sat around chatting. Her room now has some personal effects to make it look more welcoming and we will add more over the next few days. We also took in the wheelchair, she will spend part of the time sitting in it. Isobel has been fairly calm according to the staff. She talked to us very sensibly most of the time and seemed happy with her new surroundings. She has not tried to leave the bed although the staff found her sitting on the edge of the bed this morning. After less than three hours isobel said that she felt tired, and asked us to go. I think this was a good sign that she feels comfortable there.

Overall the transition to the unit seems to have gone smoothly, despite the rest of us making heavy weather of setting up her room!
