Sunday 2.00pm
I took Mam in some clean knickers, nighties, two cardies and two blouses. Plus spectacles, a paper, her book, holder for her false teeth and Steradent. She and the nurse were very grateful for the knickers - the ones from theprevious day must be in quite a state. Mam was being taken from the Emergency Assessment ward to Ward 43 where shewas placed in Bay 4. She has a catheter connected to her.
She seemed a lot happier once she was changed into the fresh clothesbut also seemed confused as to her whereabouts. She kept mentioning AuntieMarjorie and saying she was in there, too. Is this the case? It's possible that Mam may think that she is in the Little Sisters. It was probablyaround 2.30 to 2.45 when I left.
The nurse chatted to me and told me to phone the social worker therecalled Helen Harvey tomorrow morning. I don't know how much I can say which would present a consensus among ourselves. I - and others - DO think that the house should be sold to finance Mam's future care. However, I willrequire support (i.e. help) from Janet and Francis on this.
I bought two packs of knickers in M&S for Mam. Not sure about her size so I got packs in 12 and 14.
I have to post this now. My leg is playing up and I'm hungry.

I feel the house at Harley Terrace has now amassed more sad memories than happy ones. It's like trees and their rings. There was a time when I thought 26 Harley was a happy place but that's a long time ago. It was when they moved here and Sarah was growing up. In the years following Dad's heart attack, the place has just become gloomier and gloomier.
