Listening and thinking has to be a priority for a day or two following recent developments. Maureen believed she was back in Nottingham for quite a period of time yesterday evening.  Then this morning following conversations about a trip to Coventry Maureen is wondering: ‘why I brought her here?’  There are also the constant grief related issues about her parents or two children who have passed away.

The simple plan today is to potter around the house and garden.  We will be trying to catch up on one or two outstanding tasks.  This will give us a chance to think about where we go next on this journey.

Fortunately I am well placed in the next few days to share my thinking on a way forward.  At some time today I may well wander around the corner to have a chat with Yvonna our helpful chemist.  Tomorrow I am meeting with Mel, my Admiral Nurse.  Sue our social worker is back on the scene next week and a chat with her is pending.  So many hands should help this Care Partner to continue with good work.
