Wednesday July 6th 2005 (early morning)

On Monday our GP, Dr Driver came to see dad just to do a catch up from him leaving hospital and to see if he needed anything, seconds after she left Roland the district nurse came to give him his injection and to check his pressure sore dressing, then about an hour later my brother and sister in law came to visit they stayed about an hour. Since then he has been really tired, washing him, changing the bed clothes and turning him wears him out. He slept most of yesterday and when he was awake he was very confused.
The hoist also arrived yesterday morning, so while Roland was here in the afternoon he gave us a demonstration on how to use it. To be honest I don't feel my dad will be upto using it.
Jackie the MacMillan nurse came around lunchtime she was supposed to visit today (wednesday) but she said she was in the area so thought she'd pop in. She also was just doing a catch up to see if we needed anything. But we seem to be doing everything right as both doctor and nurses keep saying we are doing a grand job and that there doesn't seem to be any need for them...lol
Today we're not expecting anything unusual to happen only the visit from the nurse other then that it should be a normal day..( I only hope I haven't spoke to soon..smiles)
