I telephoned one of my pals today who is coming to Lord’s later in the year just to check to see if he had received his ticket which I had posted to him just in case, for one reason or another, I was unable to make it myself. He had but told me that he […]

After Sam had assisted with the washing and the early-morning dressing, Mel, the physiotherapist, arrived to carry out final assessment prior to tomorrow’s meeting of the Continuing Care Committee.

I think we made a mistake with the ladies from Continuing Care. Although we were ready at 7.30 they didn’t appear, I can only think that we misunderstood the arrangement. No doubt it will be sorted out today.. The second mistake was over lunch. I was due to have lunch with a friend at the […]

A truly medical day after the long weekend and the dramas of the collapsing legs. Telephone calls to the district nurse re Continuing Care – we really need help for a few minutes in the evening to get me out of my chair and perhaps in the morning, for the loo. Then there was another […]
