A quiet day for me just a bit of gardening including digging out an old dying bush. Felt a bit tired following yesterday’s ride but was aware that I was having a tooth problem once again. Worse this afternoon and clearly the impacted wisdom tooth has become infected once again. Tomorrow I must chase up the hospital to find out when I am likely to have the operation.

Nice to see friends Sarah and Tony, who had brought a card for Mum. We had a nice chat on the doorstep. Also phoned Les he is feeling better since his removal off many teeth.

This evening I read Mum’s care notes for the day. Not good news. Mum keeps getting out of bed, get’s annoyed when she is not allowed to visit other residents. Staff explain to her about the quarantine, but she doesn’t understand. They have now had to use her bed rails to prevent her getting out and she was found on one occasion upside down in bed! She doesn’t use her buzzer so they are now having to monitor her almost continually.

Poor Mum I feel so sorry for her, how much longer can she go on like this.?It all seems so cruel but of course, the staff are doing all they can to keep her safe. Hard as it may seem I wish she could pass away peacefully in her sleep. She has told me that herself many times recently and I agree with her. She has no quality of life anymore. I am not allowed to visit till 7th Sept after her quarantine.

I have written to the Ambulance Service in a vain hope that Mum’s dentures and hearing aid maybe in a lost property cupboard somewhere. I have also written to Halima asking for her to attend Mum and service her remaining hearing aid and de-wax her ears, it is so difficult for her to communicate. She is so confused, I feel so sorry for her and there is little I can do for her.
