I did not see Isobel today. Iona went in to see her this evening and reported that she seemed better overall.

She was awake when Iona arrived, and cheerful. The right hand movement was still limited, the arm is tending to fall to the side of the bed, and as it hangs Isobel does not try to move it. There was still a slight swelling of the right hand. Her head movement was better again today, although the neck swelling remains. isobel is comfortable and had no pain.

Iona just sat and chatted with Isobel, although Isobel did not do much of the talking herself. She did not want anything more to eat or drink. As it was getting fairly late in the evening, after half past eight, Iona was not surprised when her mother began to show signs of tiredness. She settled Isobel down and went home.

The next blog will be on Sunday night or Monday morning.
