Another busy one!

Miss H and Libby and Edward came to my dad’s so we could go and see mum in her care home. Last visit by Miss H had been traumatic for Libby as mum had thought she was a cat! So the plan was Mr H would take the kids to the swings and slides next to the home and Miss H and I would visit. Mum was on good form and knew who we both were so I went and got Mr H and the kids and we all saw her. Seeing the children obviously awoke something in mum’s brain and we had a glimpses of the woman she used to be. Libby did ask me why great grandma thought she was a cat last time and I just explained she had a poorly brain and that she still loved Libby!

Miss h then headed back to Manchester, and we went back to dad’s. I spent 30 minutes on hold to the pension service only to find when I got though that I had opted for the wrong ‘press 1 for x’ and would have to start all over again. I didn’t as we were going for lunch before I took dad for a follow up hospital appointment (after his recent hospital stay).
So after lunch we had a drive along the sea front and riverside and then MR H dropped dad and I at the hospital and went to pick up Mrs H senior to take her to visit Mr H senior who is now back in the care home in the hospital grounds.

All good news with dad, so Mr H brought the car to me, and I took dad home. Picked up our overnight bag and headed back to the care home to pick up Mr H and Mrs H senior! Took her home, had a coffee and then headed home ourselves.
Arrived home at 19:45, and tried to process every thing we’d done, heard and seen.
If my brain was a computer I think it would need a defrag! Instead I am doing so more knitting of the hat for the Mission for Seafarers, which is now for dad once it is finished.
I hadn’t thought about the fact that mum always knit dad ‘s hats much like I hadn’t thought about the fact that she baked him Madeira cakes - as baked on Monday evening to take to him.

Sorry for the huge write up tonight but it is for me to look back on in the future.
