27th Nov. Friends-Flowers and Doctor.
First of all may I thank Jo and Marion for visiting and helping Grandma P today. I am sure that their presence has helped her a lot. Also thanks for the flowers and best wishes sent by Joy and Peter (Rocking Horse) and Inga and John (Old college friends). And thanks to all who have sent their best wishes via E Mails etc. As for today Grandma was being looked after by Jo and Marion.
Grandpa B was in the shop until Joy and Peter came about 2pm so I could go home. He called into the Doctors and spoke to the receptionist who agreed that a home visit was needed. Just at that moment one of the doctors came in from a visit and agreed to come home with me to see Grandma P. He asked questions, took blood pressure, temperature, looked at the stoma and generally felt for any problems in the tummy. He gave a prescription for anti-sickness tablets and some mild laxatives. Also wrote a blood test form for the nurse to come and take blood samples tomorrow. After this Grandpa B drove him back to the surgery then on to the chemist to get the prescription. Now that was good service. It obviously pays to to talk to them face to face rather than on the phone. After a tidy up at home Grandpa B went and bought Fish and Chips for tea which Grandma P enjoyed. She has now gone back to bed, problem being that the ruddy bag went again so Grandad B paused this Blog to help change it again. We will get it right one of these days. Must phone the specialist nurse tomorrow on this matter. I think that will have to do for now as I feel rather knackered. Time for a cup of hot chocolate before setting off up the wooden hill..Bye for now Grandpa B.
