This morning P looked at Mums calendar with its list of all the things she had planned. Its very sad and a sobering moment - who knows when she will write and complete anything off that calendar again? The doc said yesterday that she is improving but she is back on fluids and intravenous antibiotics and looks frail and small.
Arthritis wise it hasn't been a bad few days. The pain killers appear to be working at the moment, which is always nice, though i am on full strength of some every day now, topped up with full paracetamol. We walked through Truro yesterday. Poor M has it in her hip and is in a lot of pain. The docs in the village have given her some of the pain killers she is on in the States so with luck she will have a better day today.
Yesterday was full sunshine in the late afternoon, hot and pretty. We drove home past the beaches and stopped on Pendennis head for an Ice Cream. P said it was Dads favourite place to stop and i have to admit it is one of mine. We watched the sailing boats and the people walking dogs and a lone fisherman on the rocks and even though there were a lot of people there doing the same thing it didn't matter or intrude.
P rented a car for the rest of her stay. Its a little green Nissan. We laughed when J asked what she had rented because being three not into car women we just said it was an 02 reg with two doors and a Nissan. G or J would have known the mileage and the top speed and how many miles to the gallon. Ha ha.
Nearly forgot. There was a woodpecker on the wall this morning. I have never seen one so close before. I wondered if it was Dad come to tell us he was taking her. Told him we would rather not. I should have taken a photo but we were too busy chatting.
