We are extremely grateful for the support we receive from the National Health Service.  I posted praise for the good service we receive from our Medical Centre yesterday.

Yesterday morning, Maureen’s examination went well.  She was so relieved that things are fine.

I had my scan on my left shoulder in the afternoon.  I have a tear in my rotator cuff that may need surgery.  We are both very grateful that we are to be able to call on the NHS whenever we have concerns about our health.

Maureen was a revelation in her preparation to see her G P.  She showered and was ready in good time for her appointment.  We have all been concerned with her reluctance to shower and wash her hair in the last few weeks.  I’ve heard carers try to cajole her in that direction on many occasions without success.  Yesterday she did it of her own volition with minimal assistance.

She was a different woman yesterday morning: up and on the go at a time when she would normally be reluctant to get out of bed.  Having a purpose for the morning clearly made a difference and provides real food for thought.
