Michael popped in re: mums eye appointment could I text him the time and date
Monday 3rd May
Phoned mum to she if she was Ok she said that she was but sounded a little confused as usual, she was Ok about not seeing us until tomorrow, in her words she said that she was 'knackered'
Her glasses were still missing
Tuesday 4th May
Got to mums just after 8am she still hadn't found her glasses but we found her old ones the cushion bit over the nose part was missing so took them up to the optician and they but new ones on for her, helped her with the usual household things. We also did out her food cupboard and threw out a lot of out of date tins.
Went up to the village and did her shopping and also popped into the chemist to get some cream for her knee as she is having a lot of pain in them.
Phoned the lady who runs the Friendship Club to find out about the outing and she told me that mum had got to be at Budgens at 5 to 2 and will be home at about 5.15pm but asked for a phone number just in case of any problems so I gave her D's
We sorted out some odds and sods in her front room, she really enjoyed looking through them, I managed to throw away some bits but she was reluctant to get rid of too much. We found a folder from her 70th birthday that Len had written as a sort of 'This is your life' she really laughed at what he had written and said ' I wonder what he is doing now!'
Sorted out her TV again as she had unplugged it from the wall, also rubbed some gel (cream) into her knee for her
Before we left I got her a sandwich and a glass of Lambrini she was very tired.
In the afternoon phone Town and Country carers to ask if the carer could go in a bit later next Wednesday as mum was going on an outing, she said that they would go in after 5.30pm. I also asked them if they had got message from Social Services re; cover for Tuesday 11th I spoke to Debbie and she said that she would phone them as they had nothing down for that date.
Friday 7th May
Phoned mum to see if she was OK she said that she was but she hadn't seen anyone for two days. I told her that she had as Michael, Teresa and Linda had all been over , she said 'Oh yes they did'.
She was very confused again and told me that she wanted a wee and that she had been outside as she couldn't remember where to go. I paniced a bit and said to her 'you didn't do a wee outside did you' she said that she hadn't she just went outside! ..I said that she had a toilet upstairs, and she said 'Oh yes of course I have'.
Phoned D she was as work so she phoned me back later, she said that she hadn't seen mum much this week but would keep a look out for anything unusual, she said that a Pat mums hairdresser had seen mum up in the village in the supermarket looking very confused and was worried that mum would walk out without paying!
Saturday 8th May
Mum was sitting watching TV when we got there, she had made herself a cup of tea but the water was in the kettle was cold so don't know how she made it, she said that she didn't go up the village yesterday, but then said that they wasn't anyone around yesterday so she went up to the shop! She said that she have bought something in a box and John was helping her look for it but not knowing what it was it was difficult!
We walked up to the supermarket and got some groceries and a birthday card for Michael.
Before we left we got mum a cup of tea she had go herself a cream doughnut, and left her watching TV
Still no sign of her glasses.
Sunday 9th May
Phoned to remind mum that we would be over tomorrow (Monday) she said that no one had been over for her, I told her that D & D had gone to London for the day to meet up with some friends and that she wasn't going to them for lunch this week, she said 'Oh yes so they have' she was OK when I said that I had to go and seemed quite happy.
Monday 10th May
Went to mums today as have hospital appointment tomorrow, did all the usual things that I do on a Tuesday, she complained that things were a bit tight round her tummy and when she was getting undressed to have her bath I noticed that she had 4 pairs of knickers on and 2 pairs of tights.
Rubbed gel into both of her knees as she said that they were painful.
Went up to the supermarket and go her shopping, when we got back I told her (several times) that Michael would be picking her up tomorrow afternoon to take her to her eye appointment, she said that she would write it down, but nothing made sense that she had written down so I asked her if she would like me to write it down for her, so I did and put it on the fridge.
She seems to have thing about cream doughnuts at the moment and gets 2 every time she goes to the supermarket, she is also seeing black flies everywhere again, (still cannot find her glasses!)
I told her I would phone D and let her know about Michael picking her up so if she gets in a muddle about things she would know what is going on
