It’s been a busy day today: lots of dog-walking, translating, taking delivery of the Sainsbury’s shop and regular updates on Dad.
I was in contact with Dad more than usual because one of the carers decided that Dad “wasn’t himself” today. Richard is a new carer who’s obviously a bit over-anxious. I haven’t been unduly concerned for a few days now because Dad has actually been steadily improving.
Anyway, the carer made Dad call the GP and an on-call doctor arrived to give him a good check-up. This is what we could have really done with a few days ago, but the GP wouldn’t act on a phone call from me.
The upshot is that Dad’s absolutely fine and now we know his temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and blood sugar levels are normal too. He was given some antibiotics to try and clear the last lingering traces of his cough, though they probably won’t be much help.
I have taken delivery of a big stash of PPE from the village support group in preparation for going into Dad’s house next weekend.
Love this picture by Banksy.
2022 and all that
