A Quiet Couple 0f Days

When I left off on Wednesday I said that I was going to do some gardening and I did! Our lawns are now all nice and tidy and all that's left to do later today is to poison off the weeds. At this time of year it is hot and humid which is ideal for growing grass and weeds. The only way for a gardening hater to keep up is to give the weeds a shot of weed killer every couple of weeks.

Margaret has been very quite for the last couple of days and is still very confused about dates and appointments. Each night she asks what time she should get up and for the last three night I have told her that as we have no appointments for the next few days she can get up when she wants. Each morning when I take her breakfast in she asks when she has to get up and I repeat my reply. About 10.00 am she begins to worry about not being up and missing an appointment so I tell her again.

At present she is complaining of having a pain in her neck. This could be due to the fact that for the last couple of nights she has thrown her pillows out of bed or she may just have put her neck out. She is having paracetamol to help with the pain and if it persists over the weekend I'll make a Doctor's appointment to check it out.

On a more sombre note I have been doing some reading on End Stage Renal Failure and came upon the following link:

I think it sums up Margaret's condition and prognosis. We will continue to fight to keep her kidneys from completely failing but now know what to expect if and when they do fail. One thing I know kidneys don't get better after five months of chronic failure.
