Thursday part 2

I went in again to see Isobel at half past five. She had not eaten or drunk anything since my previous visit - Red had just decided he would not be able to get her to eat any of her tea as her teeth were clenched firmly shut. I took over and spent half an hour getting her to take a quarter of the main course. This was only achievable by sliding a spoon with a little food on it between the teeth when they momentarily relaxed and scraping the food off against the upper teeth.

Isobel drank half a beaker of high energy drink in the same way; this took three quarters of an hour then Isobel fell very soundly asleep and could not be roused. I cleaned her up and left at just before 7pm. I took one of the orchids home which had begun to suffer from the low light levels and had dropped most of its flowers.
