Isobel had a quiet night and slept through the changeover from the night nurse to the 7am to 2pm shift (but then so did I, surfacing at 7.15am). Apart from a commode visit that, including clearing up and changing the bed, took an hour and a half, the day was relaxed. (Euan has just asked that I add that there was a lot of shouting from Isobel that woke him up - some of this was worryingly similar to the problems that we had a few weeks ago. It took place about an hour after she had taken her sedative, this is consistent with the sedative taking about three hours to take effect, so the most risky time is an hour or so after a tablet has been taken.)The district nurse called while this was going on. Iona and Jon came over together as his football had been cancelled.

Dallas appeared in the afternoon for a flying visit, bringing more biscuits and helping to eat the shortbread Jane brought, but failing to help eat the surfeit of chocolate cake!

Isobel had Spanish omelette, mashed potato and peas for dinner, followed by blackcurrant cheescake. Two district nurses called briefly. She went to sleep at about half nine. Overall this was a relaxed day despite the outburst in the morning.
