More difficulties

It's been another  rather difficult day.
My sister and I were busy this morning trying to arrange care for our aunt when she comes out of hospital. Then our aunt  phoned me, sounding rather  confused. We visited her late afternoon after calling at her apartment to collect some items, and  having an obligatory coffee with  her good neighbour, A.
By then, Aunty F was in a very confused, possibly  delirious, state. We were disappointed to discover she hadn't had the chest cavity catheter procedure, apparently  due to the consultant not being available. She now has to wait until Monday for this to be carried out. So, we then spent over an hour trying to reassure her that the vivid  and  terrifying events she thought she had had been witnessing, were only bad dreams. She is normally quite sensible and compos mentis, but I think a combination of worry, extreme exhaustion, and  sleep deprivation has caused  delusions and serious disorientation. We asked for a doctor to see her later, with a view to prescribing some medication to help her sleep better to night. Then we returned to our Mum's house and phoned various of our Aunty's friends to update them.
              
These berries are on the Tutsan (Shrubby St John's Wort) plant in our Mum's garden. (They follow the yellow flowers).

Oh , and we also sorted out the washing machine filter, so the  machine works properly again. That was a very satisfying job as the filter  was choked with scale,fluff, and other debris.
