A Hot Wekend

Sunday continued with Margaret in a quiet mood. She was pretty confused all day and decided to go to bed at 8.30 pm as she didn't like the TV programme I was watching and there was nothing else she wanted to watch. Up until a few weeks ago she was reading quite regularly even if a little slowly. She had her last library book for nine weeks but never finished it. I got a short large pring period novel which she used to like but apart from looking at the cover has shown no signs of reading it. She does have a cataract in one eye which needs fixing so I will make an appointment with her ophthalmologist to see if he thinks it worth while at this time.

Today the Blue Care RN is paying us an assessment visit later this morning so I suppose I should try and get Margaret up but she is not feeling too great and it is going to be another hot day. Yesterday was 34C/94F and quite humid so we had the air conditioners on from about mid day. It wont be long before we will need them today.

We haven't had the results from the Urine Tests Margaret had last Tuesday so I assume that she doesn't have a UTI and her deepening confusion and dementia is caused by something else such as increased Vascular Dementia caused by the small strokes she is susceptible too. If so the condition is permanent. She woke up confused this morning – normally she is quite bright early and slips away throughout the day until at night time she is really not with us.
