When I got back from shopping yesterday Margaret said she felt better and was breathing more easily. I think that she builds up fluid on her chest (a totally unsubstantiated assumption by me!) which makes her early morning breathing more laboured. Anyway the rest of the day was nice and peaceful. Margaret rested most of the day in her bedroom and got up for dinner before watching TV until about 9.30 pm.
Before her most recent visit to hospital she was quite confused and having, I think, hallucinations which formed part of her conscious life. These decreased markedly while in hospital leaving only her dementia where her short term memory is shot. Last night her hallucinations made a reappearance. She told me that she missed getting e-mails from her friend K in South Australia but then he must be very busy since he started his restaurant!.. K is 72 and well retired. Perhaps he can explain this?
Margaret was puffing a lot this morning but is settling down now.
