Wednesday

So comfy and warm in bed this morning and I really didn't want to get up.

I got dressed and intended to go to my aqua class but then Edna arrived and wanted to know what I thought about Rene. It really isn't important what I think about her and her forgetfulness as nothing I or Edna say or do will make a difference until she decides to go to sheltered accommodation. I missed my class which was a shame as I was all geared up to go.

I went over to see Rene and changed the dressing on her foot and wrote down the times she needs to take the antibiotics. Four times a day on an empty stomach or two hours after food is a little difficult for her to grasp so I made it as even as I could to fit in with her day and hopefully it will be alright.

Her foot looks much the same but she says it feels better.

I rang Papworth Hospital as she had a letter to say she had missed an appointment but she says she didn't see a letter. They say it was on 16 Sept but I have no idea where the letter went, she tends to 'put things away'. Papworth is very difficult to get an appointment and they are usually made a year in advance so I was told today but as it is only four months since she had the pacemaker fitted that would not apply! I have asked them if it can be done at Bury St Edmunds or Ely and they have said they will try but I don't hold out much hope. Rene says her niece can take her as she had a big heart operation there and know the way! Watch this space to see if the niece comes up trumps, I hope she does as it is a long way.

I got back home and dyed my hair which was long overdue. I am having it cut short again next week as I have had enough of the long look which takes a lot of looking after and I don't like the look of it anymore. I cleaned the bathrooms and then had my lunch.

I went into Newmarket late this afternoon as I wanted to change a jumper I had bought. I go after four o'clock as it is then free parking!

I did my shopping and went to M&S and when I came out it was dark but not yet 5.00!! I haven't driven in the dark yet and it was not very nice as it was a horrible evening.

When I got back Jon was home and we had a cuppa. He had a good meeting and hopefully he will get more work.

We had some nice plaice for dinner and then watched some TV.
