A very late blog for Sunday, as I simply forgot to write it. We are now coming to terms with not having Isobel at home and are catching up on other tasks that have been left undone for months.

Iona and Jon went in to see Isobel equipped with a large box of clothes, ornaments and pictures. Iona spent hours sorting and fixing the photos and the room now looks as if Isobel lives there. They were still there when I arrived at half four; and left at about six. Isobel was bright and alert, later on she watched a James Bond film. I fed Isobel her tea; tuna salad with coleslaw. Isobel is eating and drinking well according to the staff, she drank two beakers of squash and two beakers of tea while I was there. I don't have any concerns about how she is being looked after. Her speech remains about the same - short sentences usually make sense but any attempt at a long conversation soon gets bogged down in confusion.

We are now beginning to plan for other visitors, although Isobel's mother has an infection and will not be able to visit until next week (Jess will drive her down). I stayed with Isobel until about a quarter past seven, she began to get tired and I left her with the room lights off but the television on, I expect she fell asleep soon after. Since she moved to the Peter Gidney Centre Isobel has ended every visit by dismissing the visitors when she became tired!
