Keeping going

Up very early so have stayed up since five, I am amazed I am not more tired than I am. The carer that came wasn’t quite as helpful as the one last night, but a nice enough lady who said she would see about us having a home assessment. Sadly we haven’t heard anything yet. She said that carers do not do injections and we thought about it but decided that we weren’t prepared to do it for Margherita and she could not manage it herself so I said I would take a walk to the surgery and try to get something sorted. I made my way to where the surgery used to be, but apparently it moved about twenty years ago! So had a longer walk but will know where to go next time, which happens to be tomorrow!  The receptionist was new, but really helpful, there was no one available to talk to but she made a note and checked she was directing it to the right person. I asked about a district nurse and she got me the number for them. When I got home I rang and found out that the carer yesterday had made the referral so a nurse came today and they will administer the injections every day now. So one step forward. The surgery phoned and I have to go early in the morning to request a phone call to get to talk to a doctor in an attempt to get some care sorted.

Margherita has slept a lot today, seems comfortable on the bed which is good. I have finished the second of the Shetland series of books, luckily I did bring the third one with me.

Anya made a surprise visit this evening had a chat with Margherita and then took me out for a while which was nice. We managed to get some sawdust for Rose and then had a lovely chai latte from Starbucks! Even saw a rainbow!

Watched a program with Margherita and Rose, and then got Margherita comfortable in bed. Heading there myself now.
