Woke
at 3am to Mum and Dad talking. Dad had tumbled out of bed and grazed his knee
and opened up his eyebrow on his side cupboard. He had done the same just
before I came home and ended up with a huge bruise on his cheek. We cleaned him
up and I rearranged the cupboard then went back to bed.
After
breakfast I padded the corners of the cupboard and shelves by Dad’s bedside. He
didn’t want things moved as he couldn’t
see there was a problem – one of the issues of Dementia.
Pottered
around the house doing a few bits and pieces and enjoying chatting with Mum.
Dad has been watering his orchids every day which gets him wandering around so
his knees must have seen some improvement from the plasma injection – just he
can’t remember how it was to be able to say if he feels any difference.
After
lunch I went to Kaylene’s for a cuppa then around to Daniel and Fran’s to say
bye. Fran’s Mum, Valerie was there too. Jon was still at golf so rang him to
say by. His new lounge room and lounge looks lovely. He is getting over renovating
though. Jess was still at her new work which she is enjoying so she rang me
back later to wish me a good flight home.
Greg
came over for dinner then Mum, Greg and I played Skipbo – no mercy this time –
I won the 2 games we played. Dad watched Andre Rieu concerts that Mum has taped
– so we were entertained with wonderful music. Andre and his orchestra and
singers are amazing and they are fabulous entertainers as well as musicians.
Last
night here. I feel like I have been here for months and it was funny that when
I arrived it didn’t feel that I had been away for over a year. Time just flows
on. So glad to be able to spend time with Mum and Dad and help them out.
Looking forward to being back next year for an extended time to be with them.
