Mummy and Joana

Joana is head nurse of the nursing floor in the home, a lively positve warm person, she is from Malta.

Mummy has had a few falls this week and is confused... one of the falls resulted when she was looking for her boyfriend but he is in Worthing hospital, she has hurt her hand but does not remember how and her TV is broken as well as the wardrobe door and one of her pictures. 

The Occupational Therapist was there, a nice lady called Vicky who recomended some hand exercises and some products that may help with feeding etc.

We went to the shop and got a Birthday card for Gulliver and some grapes and starburst and I left her eating dinner with Norman who is very caring towrads her, he ois stone deaf so I wrote down the main headlines regarding Mum on his white board for him, he was very philosophical as always and said 'She is in the best place and we have all come here for the end'.

I feel very sad and tired, it is hard to see her  slowly slipping away. I cut her Fringe and pretended I was a hairdresser, I put on a silly voice and said 'Are you going anywhere nice on your holidays Mrs Wood?' she laughed at that at least.
