I finished up on Friday expressing my concern over Margaret's health, in particular fluid retention in her feet and calf area. Things are not improving and her feet now hurt when she walks. She is spending most of the time with her feet up but that isn't helping too much. She is still getting very breathless following the slightest exertion.
The good things are that she is still relatively coherent and happy to sit and watch TV with me. I bought her the complete series of "Foyles War" on DVDs, all nineteen of them, and we have watched the first three episodes of series one. I am amazed at the standard of production of these series. We were especially interested to see the latest, and very young, Dr Who in episode three plus a DS from "The Bill" as a young villain.
I spent Friday tidying up the house and Saturday catching up with the washing. Margaret mainly rested. Margaret has some difficulty in get up from bed to go to the loo and I have fitted two support bars to help her. However it must hurt her quite a lot as I can here her yell when she gets up. Louis barks and I rush to her room to see what the emergency is. Normally it is nothing and Margaret doesn't even remember calling out but I have to check every time. I have just returned to typing this following another false alarm.
This morning, Sunday, looks like being a real pig of a day. At 8.00 am it was nearly 29C/87F and 80% humidity. I shall have to shut up the house soon and put on the air conditioning. The cricket Test Match with Pakistan starts today so I expect to snooze in air condition comfort watching it on TV but first I have to pop out for a couple of items from the shops which I forgot on Thursday.
