Last Week In March – 22Mar – 28Mar

Week Of 22 February

22nd:

23rd:

24th:

25th:

Shopping, driven by Rosie, then in the afternoon I had my last baby tooth extracted.

26th:

Recovering from tooth extraction

27th:

Meeting with the nurses at Millvale with Bridget in Wellington on facetime.

It was a run down of Karola’s condition which was all stuff we already knew but the impression they left me with was that Karola wasn’t an easy resident.

Frances, the Millvale House manager, told us they were all qualified nurses yet is seemed as if they found Karola’s mood swings and frequently uncooperative behaviour challenging.

I was expecting them to have been trained to cope with this, to be trained in techniques to calm.

Rosie took me home and then she did the Bangle Grooming run which ahd moved from Tuesday to Thursday.

28th:

Cooler day. Bangle and I lunched as usual at the dog park and took our customary 1km walk while I listened to P.D. James novels on hearing aids.

No eggs again.
