26th Nov. Static Day.

Today has been a bit static for Grandma P. That is static on the health front compared with yesterday and static as in sitting in the armchair most of the day. She has eaten what she feels she could manage. The damn bag gave out early evening just as Grandpa B was about to cook dinner, never mind, better late than never as the saying goes. We have had phone calls from brother Roger, old college friend Inga and our friend Jo as well as several E-Mails. Thank you all for your Support and Best wishes.
Grandpa B has been keeping up with shopping, laundry and generally looking after Grandma P. He also is getting frustrated by the lack of help from the Community Nursing staff. He phoned them this morning and left a message to ask for help and for somebody to come and check Grandma over, blood pressure etc. But no call back. Grandpa phoned again in the afternoon only to be told that the nursing sister had not put down for visits and that he should contact the doctor for him to assess the situation. What is going on? will have to contact tomorrow again, BAH.
Grandma is now tucked up in bed watching a programme about the Queen.
Grandpa is in the shop tomorrow. Jo is coming to visit in the morning - Thank you Jo. Time for a nightcap now before retiring. Bye Bye to you all.
GRANDPA B.
