Some relief....on two fronts

Whether it is connected with her right lung being drained yesterday of a litre of fluid or coincidental I was relieved to find Mum in her best state this morning for weeks. She even ate some food and took some fluids, albeit still minimal amounts. The Doctor tells me her heart and kidneys are still underperforming but she is making progress.

Her condition did fall away in the afternoon but there are likely explanations. The Doctor drained some fluid from her left lung after lunch. Mum then was sent off for still another x-ray and her blood pressure/temperature were checked multiple times. All this activity would have been tiring for her. In addition the 'sundown' syndrome experienced by dementia sufferers would have come into play too.

After the hospital visit some further relief for me when I had a brief dalliance with a tradie. It was a quick and clinical mutual hand job but we both needed the release. I returned home relaxed whilst he had to return to work.
