Away days like yesterday are going to be a common feature of my life from now on.  However, there are certain things to be sorted out before I set out again in a couple of weeks-time:

• An up to date Care Plan
• Guidelines for carers and visitors
• Basic information about our household

It is really important to avoid a repeat of yesterday.  Maureen needs to continue with her normal routines in my absence.  She needs a reasonable mix of stimulation and rest.  Her food needs to be of a good nutritional standard.  Medication needs to be offered and taken.

It is inevitable that there would be teething problems as we begin this new stage of our journey.  We all need to move on and as they say: ‘Practice Makes Perfect’.
