Sunday July 20th

Went to see Mam early this afternoon - wasn't easy considering the sciatica. Took her some clean clothes and bought her a newspaper for which she was very grateful. She looked well but seemed to be of the impression that she was to be returning home tomorrow (Monday 21st). When I asked the nurses before leaving, they said this wasn't the case and that Mam had most likely misheard something being said to/about/by one of the other patients. I hope that Mam will not be too disappointed tomorrow.

I brought back a bag of clothes to wash. Leg was very bad upon my return. Hope I can walk tomorrow.

We need to consider the possibility that a place at LSoP becomes available before the house has been sold. In such an eventuality we may have to consider some kind of bridging loan to make up any shortfall in Mam's finances. Does anyone have any ideas along these lines? We need to have a plan in place so please get your thinking caps on. How healthy are Mam's finances. Also, so we have any hard evidence that Mam was dishing out large amounts of cash to St Charles? If this is true, it is very sad but it is also disgraceful that St Charles allowed this to go on without informing close relatives. Would they provide drink to an alcoholic? I have often wondered what the church would prefer: parishioners who attended church but gave no money - or parishioners who didn't attend yet made donations. I suspect it's the latter.
