Lunch Out

Yesterday the Blue Care RN called me to talk about her visit with Margaret earlier in the day. She said Margaret was OK but appeared very concerned about her continence underwear. Blue Care are arranging some financial support from the Commonwealth Government to cover their cost. Margaret told the RN that she needed fourteen a day! I explained that the figure fourteen was her latest favourite number and she actually uses between two and three a day.

We went out to the Noosa Bowls Club for lunch and Margaret had her favourite meal. During the meal she talked almost incessantly with no relationship to any thing in particular. At one stage she harped back to last week when she thought that children had been drowned at the Bowls Club. She understood that this was not so and asked me, “How how did they kill the children?” It took a little while to explain that no children had been killed at the Bowls Club. Anybody eavesdropping on our conversation would wonder what the hell is going on.

Afterwards Margaret wanted to go shopping but I was very tired and it was a warm day so I took her home where she barely made it to bed without falling over and slept for three hours until after I had walked Louis.

She went to bed early and slept all night.

This morning she is still on about needing fourteen continence pants so I told her she already had them -I actually counted three loose and a packet of ten so it was only a little lie.

This morning I will do a little washing and cleaning up and have a restful day.
