Tea was trout, sprouts, pots. Ate everything, no trouble with bones, skin etc.
1920 Angus arrived, everything went well, papers will arrive in the post.
1945 Home Care assistants arrived, Margaret & Janette, accepted it was a bit early for "tuck-in" and will call again tomorrow a.m.
2215 I mentioned pills and asked what he wanted to drink. "Tea". So I made tea.
2250 He announced that he would go to bed when he finished his tea, but it took some time and he wasn't in bed until 2345.
Wednesday August 31
0423 I woke up, don't know why, no unusual noises.
0510 Daddy went to the toilet, back to bed 0524. His version – "I woke up only once, about 0540 (or 0450) and went to the toilet, it all took about 40 minutes or half an hour".
0810 Daddy went to the toilet. I cancelled his alarm at 0815, he was back in the bedroom at 0825 but decided not to get up, he would have another 10 minutes. I woke him again at
0845 and he got up and dressed and was putting on his slippers when the Care team (Gordon & Margaret) arrived at
0900 Daddy came downstairs, they introduced themselves, asked how he was etc. and left. I made breakfast, Fiona came in, I went shopping.
1300 Care Team (Sandra & ---) called, stayed 5 minutes, reminded me of medication, Daddy was not interested in extra painkillers so no.
1500 IRIS Paul O'Reilly and Joan (a nurse) to see whether Daddy can get in and out of chair, up and down stairs, on and off bed, toilet, in and out of bath (with difficulty). Not convinced that the outside wall will take a banister but will proceed with it. A board (new type) and seat might work in the bath. Will send out OT (Marie) to practise bath and dressing. Paul had problems taking blood pressure & pulse but managed, readings ok. Physiotherapist to look at balance. Left about 1545.
1900 Gordon & Margaret, short visit, left Care Diary. Will be in early (before 9) tomorrow.

(Downstairs, he said that he wouldn't need to go to the toilet since he'd been just recently but he still went in when he got upstairs.)
Friday September 2
0240 Noises off. I waited a couple of minutes but the sounds continued without any result so I got up. Daddy was sitting on the bed in the wee bedroom and said "I don't think this is my room". I agreed and he quite cheerfully got up and followed me back into his room which he seemed to recognise. A quick drink, seemed about to get into bed then said "But I still need to go to the toilet" which he did. Back in the bedroom (he didn't seem too sure which one to go into) he said "I don't know how you did it but I'll just say thanks". I asked for what and he said "for changing all the furniture around". "But I haven't." He looked a bit puzzled and said "This is Edinburgh isn't it?" I said "No, we are in Glasgow" and he said "Oh, I'd better just go to bed then" and did.
0305 Subsequently I decided to leave a light on at the top of the stair.

1000 Gordon & Margaret. I had warned them we might be out (and they should take it as a good sign) and they just left a note.

Saturday October 1
0210 Sounded like Daddy on his way to the toilet except he wasn't moving. I got up, he was standing at his bedroom door tightening his trouser belt. He thought I would have gone by now as the building was being knocked down. I reassured him that this was not the case. "They're driving two corridors right through the building, we're in a church" and there was a stair in the wall in the corner. As he talked, he gradually realised that his events didn't quite fit with the present state of the house, and after a quick tour of the top floor, he was quite happy to go back to bed, thought keeping his clothes on and being quite sure he wouldn't sleep. All this by 0235.

Thursday October 6
0015 Noises off. I looked and thought Daddy was just having a drink and rattling the glass on the top of the tallboy.
0245 More noises off, had he been to the toilet? I went through and he was scrabbling on the floor and opening and closing drawers in the tallboy. He said he was pleased to see me, he thought he would never see me again, we were trapped in a disintegrating patchwork where all the sections had their electricity cut off at different times and there were children being marched between stations and trains.
0325 He seemed to be settling so I suggested he try to sleep and I went back to bed.
0330 More tallboy rattling, scrabbling on the floor (I think it was his head hitting the drawer handles that I'd heard) assembling a railway. he then decided he had to go round the back so we went in to the bathroom and examined the plumbing. Then he decided to go to the toilet since he was there.
0350 Back to bed like a lamb.

2255 In bed.
Monday October 24
0055 Daddy was up, bed made, pleased to see me, I would know the way back to the room where we just were and then he could find his bedroom. It took me 15 minutes to persuade him to sit tight for the rest of the night and use the bed where he was.
A couple of outbreaks of one-sided conversation but he didn't get up till
0300 "I have to go to see the test nurses being tested so that everyone can see that they have been." So, we wandered in and out of rooms upstairs without finding the nurse then Daddy got back into bed to wait till she arrived. (0315)

0820 Out of toilet, very lethargic while dressing, moved very tentatively, not very interested in breakfast.
1005 Lightburn pickup.
1045 Lightburn phoned to check whether Daddy was sleeping at nights, he'd just fallen asleep and spilled his tea. I explained the current problem. There is a case conference on Wednesday.
1330 Home. Apparently, he slept a lot this morning.
Gradually picked up through the afternoon, managed his beans on toast rather better than last week.
He was a bit bored in the evening, contemplating shaving just to pass the time. I put on the Celtic video and that held his attention for an hour or so (but not to the end), then he decided to go to bed. Seemed to get a bit unsteady again while cleaning teeth.
2120 In bed.
2230 I went upstairs, he was not in bed. Then I spotted him sitting on the far corner of the bed with head and hands down scrabbling at the carpet below the window. It took 15 minutes to persuade him to leave it till morning and get back into bed, which he did to humour me rather than because he saw any sense in it.
2303 Talking to ?
2310 He was sitting on the edge of the bed, but got back in as soon as I said we could deal with the rubbish disposal in the morning when the lorry (and volunteers) would be available.
2340 False alarm, still in bed, just talking. I decided to ignore it and went to sleep but --
Tuesday October 25
0205 I heard him moving about and went to see. He was edging along the wall into the small bedroom. "Am I glad to see you. There will be a murder done in there and it will be me that gets murdered." His bedclothes were at the bottom of the bed, there was a button on the bed (torn off his pyjama jacket). We sat on the bed and he gave a rambling explanation involving a boat, a Glaswegian crew (and not a Glasgow man among them), an old lady whacking folk with a stick, etc. Several attempts to distract him into bed failed miserably.
0240 He suddenly said "I'll go into my own bed and sleep. You wake me in 20 minutes" and headed for the door and into the toilet.
0255 He came out of the toilet and , with a brief stop to inspect the contents of the basket chair, got into bed, pulled up the covers, and closed his eyes. I opened the curtains and left the landing light on.
0540 I heard a thump and went through to find Daddy flat on his back on the floor at the foot of the bed, one hand behind his head. I put a pillow there as well. He wasn't very communicative but seemed to be breathing normally and capable of moving all extremities. When I asked if he wanted to sit up, he said he'd rather not. So I phoned for an ambulance and put the duvet over him. Five minutes later, he said he "felt a need to wiggle" and turned on his side relatively easily.
When the ambulance men arrived, they checked him over and helped him to sit on the side of the bed. There is a small bruise on the back of his head (perhaps carpet burn rather than a direct impact) and he complained of feeling sore "in the middle". They decided there was nothing critical and he could get back into bed. They went off and Daddy went back to sleep.
0910, Daddy seemed to be still asleep so I went downstairs to tidy up. Five minutes later I heard a noise and came upstairs to find him on the landing on his way to the toilet. He was not very steady but managed ok. I helped him back to bed. "How do you feel?" "Strained." He also seems a little more confused than usual at this time of day (hardly surprising).
He did not remember falling though he did remember having visitors in the night.
He is still asleep now (1120) and I won't disturb him until about 12.
Daddy got up about 1250, went to the toilet, dressed and went downstairs, albeit very slow on the stairs. His hands seemed a bit shakier than usual during breakfast and his conversation did not make a lot of sense. He was very lethargic through the afternoon.
At tea time, he managed his knife and fork reasonably, ate all his sprouts but few potatoes (unusual) and left some salmon (unheard of).
Sundry visitors and phone callers during the evening may have noticed that he was not quite on the ball.
I asked if he wanted to shave, he said no, he would send the boy out for 2 pints of cold milk. For what? I asked. To drink, he said so I got him a drink of milk and he took his pills with it. Then he shaved and went upstairs before 10, changed into pyjama trousers and I thought we were winning but - he started scraping the carpet, weaving invisible threads etc. with a couple of trips down and up the stairs. He had increasing difficulty descending, having apparently forgotten how to use the stick and he seems to lean too far back when holding the bannisters.
By midnight, his batteries seemed to be running down and he put his pyjama trousers back on, but still had no intention of going to bed. "They" had said he shouldn't for some reason connected with the time required to get to Lightburn.
Wednesday October 26
0015 He's lying on his back on the bed, feet on floor, almost asleep but still refusing to get into bed. I cut my nails and decided to give in and go to bed. At which point, Daddy decides to wander about but still refuses to go to bed.
0100 No change, sitting on the edge of the bed picking threads off the curtains.
0124 Fell off the bed but by the time I got there, he was calmly scratching the carpet as if nothing had happened. (I think this is when he got the graze on his elbow.)
0148 Now he has come through and is scraping my carpet. That's very convenient 'cos I can watch him while I'm sleeping. Later he sits on the edge of my bed and picks threads off the bedclothes.
0400 He moved out and sat on the chest on the landing.
0500 He was back in his bedroom.
0730 He is sitting on the floor behind his bedroom door. I feared he might be asleep, he wasn't but it still took 15 minutes to persuade him to move away from the door.
0810 I had to help him in to toilet and with his trousers. I probably knew it wasn't a good idea but we tried to go downstairs. After four steps (leaning a long way back) he stopped, he couldn't manage any more. He tried sitting down but that didn't work either. Nor could he get back up. I hauled him up the stairs, got him onto his feet and more or less carried him to his bed. I'll bet he didn't enjoy it.
0905 I phoned Lightburn and cancelled the pick up, phoned the doctor and asked for a home visit on the grounds of "disorientation", then phoned Fiona to let her know that Daddy wasn't going to Lightburn.
1105 Dr Pollock arrived, quickly decided that hospital was the only option and went off to arrange an ambulance "within a couple of hours".
Phoned Fiona, Mary (not in), A. Margaret. Karen phoned.
1230 Ambulance arrived. Mary phoned, I'll phone her back.
1305 Arrive GRI. I was sent to give details at main reception and wait.
1325 Called through, Dr Livingstone in attendance, Neil dropped by, ECG, X-ray, CT scan. Daddy was pretty sleepy throughout. He was up in the ward before 1600, I got the third degree, Neil dropped by.
1630 Daddy was in a six-bed room, more awake than he had been but equally more restless. When I said I was leaving, he said "That's all right, I'll get out and meet you outside.
Moira went up in the evening. Daddy had been moved to a single room where he tried to dismantle the x-ray machine. Still restless when she left.
Thursday October 27
I arrived at 1438, Daddy was apparently asleep. I sorted his limited wardrobe and sat awhile. A doctor came in to ask him some questions, she was preparing a referral to Parkview. Daddy almost woke but didn't know where he was or what day it was. I told the doctor of our previous contacts with Parkview, of which she was not aware, and off she went to rewrite her letter.
Daddy did wake about five minutes later and at intervals said he felt "great weariness" but he "wasn't dying", he'd been "off-colour for several months". I tried to explain about the stroke but don't think he took in much of it.
I left at 1525 after a spell when he opened his eyes occasionally, recognised me but didn't make any attempt at conversation.
Moira went up in the evening. He was trying to take the bedclothes apart.
Friday October 28
I phoned at 1215 to be told that Daddy would be moving to Ward 18/19 at some as yet undetermined time and I should phone before I left to find out where he was. Fiona phoned just afterwards to say that Neil had said that they were trying to arrange a transfer direct to Lightburn but that was before I phoned so the bed must have come up in 18/19 first.
I tried phoning every few minutes from 1330 but was unable to get through (busy). So I headed for Ward 43 and he was still there, very sleepy.
I'd been there barely 10 minutes when a trolley arrived for his transfer. Daddy managed (just) to move himself from the bed onto the trolley and promptly went back to sleep. Once they'd got him into the new bed (same room, different position), I stayed awhile but he was still very sleepy.
Moira and Paul went up in the evening. More alert but not in the real world.
Saturday October 29
Daddy was sitting in his chair, appeared to be quite alert, knew who I was and was pleased to see me, but when I asked what he had been doing, he'd been up and down roads, working (or not working) here and there, and other things of which I could make no sense. He didn't want a drink of water but when I produced the Tango he did take a taste of that and he ate some liquorice allsorts. After an hour, I produced the paper and made a run for it.
On the way out, I spoke with a ward assistant who said it would be no problem if I left some clothes so I went back in and put them in the locker. Daddy more or less ignored me while I did this.
On my second departure, I spoke with a nurse who said Daddy had been roaming this morning and did I have any objection to them putting a tag on him. I said no.
Moira went up in the evening. He was getting stroppy.
Sunday October 30
1450 Daddy appeared to be asleep in the chair, wearing a hospital gown. I sat for a few minutes till he stirred then touched his hand and he was awake. He was trying to remember who he went to visit in Ireland with his mother, but couldn't remember a name (or why or when). I tried a few names but obviously not the right one. He took some tea. (I felt it appropriate to hold the mug.) Two pairs of pyjamas in the locker, the ones which were clean yesterday in a yellow bag. I brought both pairs back. I'll take the others up tonight. The graze on his elbow was not looking too good so I attempted to inform a nurse but there were none available. When I left, I left a message with an orderly who didn't deal with that part of the ward. I also left the Sunday Post in which he showed no interest.
1850 Daddy appeared to be asleep in bed. I sat in the chair and read the Post. After about 20 minutes, he woke and recognised me. He was quite calm, conversation was disjointed but fairly close to home. He said he ought to shave so I produced the razor and he managed that. We had a fiddle with his hearing aid, I changed the battery but even that was not satisfactory, I'll take a pin in tomorrow. Then a few mouthfuls of tea. I was about to leave at five to eight when he decided he would go to the toilet. I held his arm there and back and he managed ok in the toilet apart from covering his back on the way out. Oh, and the elbow's got a plaster on.
Monday October 31
Tuesday November 1
Fiona and Neil were there when I arrives, Daddy was more or less asleep in bed.
Ann Shaw appeared and made enquiries anent what has happened since he was discharged. I gave as much info as I could remember. She will ask Dr Ritchie to visit.
Moira went up in the evening.
Wednesday November 2
We managed to miss the afternoon visit, I went up in the evening and Daddy was asleep in bed. I made a couple of half-hearted attempts to wake him but failed.
Thursday November 3
Reading glasses have turned up again, no-one knows whence.
Moira and Paul went up in the evening, Daddy was asleep in bed and didn't wake, despite Karen also appearing.
Friday November 4
1440 Daddy was in bed wearing pyjamas, half asleep. He woke shortly after I arrived, conversation was desultory and not very focused. Dr Ritchie arrived about 1510 and we repaired to the seminar room, a nurse steadying Daddy as we went.
Dr Ritchie started with the usual questions, "What do you think..." getting pretty negative responses. Then he did various tests of memory, comprehension, mobility etc. The outcome was an inclination to discount Lewybody's Dementia leaving Alzheimers (indicated by memory lapses, however slight, developing over several years) plus Blood Vessel Dementia to account for the sudden recent deterioration. These can be addressed by various drugs but they are not a cure, they will only moderate the symptoms. Prof. Stott has already changed Daddy's medication, Dr Ritchie thinks he's going in the right direction, time will tell. So it's a case of wait and see.
He said he couldn't tell whether there would be a period of rehab at Lightburn or if Daddy would be discharged directly home. I get the impression it will be another couple of weeks in the Royal anyway.
Moira went up in the evening, Daddy was much brighter than she has seen him before, he even raised the subject of his pipe.
Saturday November 5
1435 Daddy was standing in the corridor, doing not a lot. He recognised me but didn't seem to know why I was there. A nurse came along and suggested he go back into Room 6 but I suggested the day room for a smoke and that's where we went. Strange conversation. The Church in Australia, no, South Africa, is run by the Chinese, no, Sisters, each with there own patch, who kept telling folk they were going the wrong way. It took me some time to realise he was describing the wards. A passing nurse said that Daddy had been quite lively this morning, walking about a lot.
Back in the ward, there was a pair of pyjama trousers rolled up on the bed, mostly clean but with odd flecks of what might have been food on them. The jacket was also rolled up in the locker. I decided to leave them.
I also noticed that Daddy was wearing the wrong slippers and only one of his was present.
1835 Daddy was asleep in the chair, apparently unmoved since I left him. (An idea belied by some food splashes on his pyjama jacket.) He stirred after about five minutes, I inserted myself into his field of vision and he woke. We went along (unsteadily) to the day room and smoked for half an hour or so, he wasn't interested in tea. Conversation was a bit stilted, he couldn't remember what he had for tea, apart from potatoes and something Persian. About 1930, I suggested returning to Room 6 and asked if he wanted to go to the toilet. "I think I'd better" he said so we headed for the Room 6 toilet. "DO NOT USE" said the sign so we used the visitor toilet instead. I decided to bring home and wash the unfolded but apparently clean pyjamas.
Sunday November 6
Moira went up in the afternoon, he was in bed wearing a pyjama jacket over a hospital gown but generally fine.
1850 Still in bed, apparently asleep but when I asked quietly if he was asleep or resting his eyes, he said the latter, he'd only just got into bed. He said he'd had a bad night, couldn't get to sleep and when he did, he woke again immediately. I asked what he had had for tea but he made no reply.
A nurse came in to ask if we had any objection to a move to Lightburn, no time scale, I said no. She said he'd had a disturbed night, not much sleep and had been reluctant to wake up for breakfast.
By the time we'd finished that conversation, Daddy was asleep so I left about 1930.
Monday November 7
1440 Daddy was sitting in the chair wearing fresh pyjamas. Conversation was desultory with a lot of resting of eyes. We have apparently to regain possession of our house in Glasgow, it would be best to see the lawyer who arranged the original transfer.
I asked if he had been up and about much, he said no, he'd had problems with socks and things. He has apparently lost the book I left yesterday. I checked his locker and found two pyjama jackets, one inside the other with socks wrapped up in them. I refolded the cleaner one and brought the other home, and the socks. Paul came in and was recognised but gave rise to no additional conversation. We left about 1535.
1905 In bed, dozing. He woke after about 5 minutes, "How do you feel?" "Sleepy". "What did you have for tea?" "Yes". I told him about the planning application for across the road and he said "You eat it". And he kept dozing off, so I left after half an hour.
Tuesday November 08
I went up for a train, there were none and no information as to when there would be so I went home and got the car.
1500 Daddy was in the toilet. He appeared wearing pyjamas after about 10 minutes and we went along to the day room for a smoke. A nurse approached us and asked for a meeting with Prof. Stott on Friday, would we prefer 1130 or 1600. I'll ask Fiona.
Daddy said he felt "terrible". He had had two bad nights, one when Civilisation had collapsed into dust and disappeared, and last night the light had disappeared except for a small patch around him. Then Louise appeared and he brightened up.
We went back to the ward about 1600 and attended to his wardrobe before departing about 1610.
William Rogan phoned.
1850 I confirmed the meeting with Prof. Stott for 1130 on Friday.
Daddy was in bed wearing pyjamas, said he felt much better than this afternoon. Karen appeared and had a bright conversation with him. Then Karen and I started discussing TV licences and Daddy pointed out that it was half past seven and we should be leaving soon to be off the premises by eight. So we left.
Wednesday November 09
1440 Daddy was asleep in the chair wearing a gown. He was not inclined to wake so I sat for a while. He almost surfaced, I asked him if he was sleepy, he said "No" and went back to sleep. The physio came in and took him for a short walk. When they returned, Daddy sat down, ignored me and went back to sleep. I took two pairs of pyjamas, left a clean pair and departed about 10 past three.
1900 Much better, asleep in the chair wearing the clean pyjamas but the nurse said he had just fallen asleep and he woke quite readily. We went along to the day room, Daddy smoked quite heavily for 20 minutes, probably too heavily as he then looked a bit uncomfortable. We returned to the ward, he took a glass of water and looked much better. He had no recollection of my visit this afternoon. I left at 1945 just as the football was starting.
Thursday November 09
Friday November 10
1130 Fiona & I met with Prof. Stott. His analysis of the situation was not encouraging. Without being able to give chapter and verse for the cause of the problem, he thinks that while there has been some improvement in Daddy's condition over the last two weeks, it unlikely that there will be further significant improvement in the near future. It is not yet time to write him off but unless some improvement shows over the next few of weeks in rehab (probably a move to Lightburn when/if a bed becomes available later next week) then long term care beckons. There is almost a probability of further episodes of deterioration as time goes on. There is an NHS establishment called Greenfield Park (near Carntyne station) which offers a greater range of medical support than your average nursing home, and may be more appropriate for Daddy to avoid the risk of repeated spells in hospital.
After this discussion, Fiona and I went in to see Daddy who acknowledged our existence and continued to eat his lunch. We left after about five minutes.
1430 I went back in at visiting time but Daddy was asleep in the chair. He stirred a couple of times but did not respond to my voice so I replenished his wardrobe and left after half an hour.
Saturday November 12
1440 Daddy was in his chair asleep but soon woke. I asked him where he was and he said he was waiting at Shotts railway station for me to pick him up but I hadn't appeared! I asked where he had travelled from and he said "Shotts". He seemed to realise that this was not very helpful but could offer no better explanation. When I asked what he did when I didn't show up, he said "I waited". He drank some tea and couldn't remember what he'd had for lunch. He had a tendency to doze off so I produced the paper. He didn't show much interest and said he'd look at it later. I left about 1510.
1850 Daddy was in bed asleep, still wearing the same pyjamas. I sat for a while reading his book, he woke about 1910 and seemed pleased to see me. He thinks he is in prison but does not yet know the sentence. Apparently all three of them took the same route out (of where?) and were all picked up. Conversation was a bit spasmodic but he seemed quite happy and I left about 1940.
Sunday November 13
Moira and Paul went up in the afternoon, said he was a bit dozy, conversation was slow.
However, on Sunday evening, he was more alert than I have seen him since he went in. He was sitting in his chair, awake, as if expecting me. He remembered that Moira had said I would take away the paper and leave another, and he knew what day it was. When I asked if he wanted some tea, he said "Yes, and I'd like my pipe". That's only the second time he has raised the subject. Unfortunately, there was a hen party in progress in the day room so no pipe. He accepted the situation without any problems.
I asked if he wanted to shave (he'd rubbed his chin frequently), he said yes, I produced his razor and he shaved himself, quite efficiently. I left him with the Sunday Post and the (Scottish Catholic) Observer which he started reading.
OK, he is still slow finding words and doesn't initiate much conversation but he is a bit more aware of what is going on and wondering what will happen next.
Monday November 14
1440 Daddy was sitting in his chair wearing his pyjamas and two pairs of socks. He was awake but a bit sleepy. I went along to check the day room - it was occupied, Daddy was philosophical. He took some tea and maintained a desultory conversation. The occupational therapist (Sharon - we've seen her before) came in and asked me about how Daddy had got on at home after his first stay in hospital. I reassured her things had gone very well until the weekend before his current hospitalisation. She will see Daddy for dressing practise in the morning.
After some further desultory conversation, I gave Daddy the paper and departed about 1540.
1855 I went along to check the day room (noticing Daddy was sitting in his chair as I passed), it was empty. By the time I was back at the ward, Daddy was at the door clutching paper, book and other glasses and said "Which way do we go?". So, we went along to the day room and got the pipe out. We had not been there long before another patient came in in a wheelchair attended by two visitors. then another two visitors joined them. Daddy seemed uncomfortable with the crowd and suggested returning to the ward. We did, he drank some more tea and changed his socks. I replenished his wardrobe and left about 1940.
Tuesday November 15
Wednesday November 16
1315 Phoned the Royal, yes he's moving this afternoon, probably just after 2, no point in visiting the Royal.
1600 Phoned Lightburn, yes he's there but the staff are checking in another patient at the moment, call again in 20 mins.
1630 et seq line engaged until
1655 Yes he's there, he's fine, he's away for his dinner. Visiting times are 2-4 and 6-8 p.m..
1845 And there he was, and he was fine, sitting in a chair wearing his own clothes. Apparently his trip from the Royal (which he knows is in Glasgow but it wasn't today) involved an aeroplane from America and took about 4 hours. I didn't know there was an airport at Whitehill. Anyway, he has some idea of where he is now.
There are six beds in an alcove, each with its locker and chair, and a TV at the end away from the corridor. The hospital has 4 30-bed wards and a tea bar.
All Daddy's clothes had vanished for "marking" so I didn't leave any more. We'll have to see how the domestic arrangements work before we invest too much of his wardrobe. He took some tea, Moira came in, he seemed to have a grasp of the conversation though he didn't initiate any. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Thursday November 17
Friday November 18
Saturday November 19
Sunday November 20
Paul & Moira went up in the afternoon.
Daddy was just climbing into bed when I arrived. I asked if he wanted to shave, he said yes, laid back and I applied the shaver. When I finished, I asked how it was, he replied "patchy" and I redid the indicated area. He then rubbed his chin again and fell asleep. I waited fifteen minutes, he showed no signs of waking, so I left.
Monday November 21
1410 Went for a smoke, then a cup of tea.
Paul went up in the evening.
Tuesday November 22
1410 Daddy was in the toilet, I put the clean jumper in the cupboard. The high heid yins (medical) were round this morning, Daddy is in hospital to get fit to go home, perhaps in a couple of weeks. Chat with Jamie (occupational therapist), dressing practise tomorrow morning, bath practise in the afternoon. Went for a smoke, Daddy had a funny turn shortly after lighting his pipe, soon recovered but decided to go for tea rather than relight the pipe. Back to the ward, gave him the Express and left about 1515.
Wednesday November 23
Thursday November 24
Friday November 25
Saturday November 26
went up twice
Sunday November 27
Moira went up in the afternoon, Daddy was asleep in bed when she arrived but did get up and go for tea.
And he was asleep when I went up in the evening. He woke after about ten minutes, we had a rather desultory conversation, he remembered that I would swap the papers (I took up the Post and the Observer), but was not much interested in Christmas cards or the Christmas decorations in Luncarty Street.
Monday November 28
I went up with Paul in the afternoon, Daddy was dozing on his bed but decided to get up and go for a smoke. Adverse reaction after a few minutes but recovered after a few minutes and we went for tea. Back to the ward for a shave and I left him with the paper.
No evening visit
Tuesday November 29
Much the same pattern as yesterday. Daddy remembered that there had been no visitors yesterday evening but seemed unperturbed. We might get away with one visit a day.
No evening visit.
Wednesday November 30
Much the same pattern as yesterday. Chat with the Occupational Therapist (Jamie) about Daddy's chances at home. The only obvious problem is night-time activity! Physiotherapy are quite happy with his mobility. When asked what he had had for lunch, Daddy replied "soup" and made some comments on the general (dining room) setup. He also lasted a bit longer with the pipe before starting to shake. Took a second cup of tea from the flask. Definitely an improvement.
No evening visit.
Thursday December 1
Went up with Uncle Gerry & Eileen. Moira was already there and had Daddy in the tea room. He was in good form when he could get a word in edgeways. Moira, Eileen & Gerry left about three and we went for a smoke. Back in the ward, he ate a bit of Mrs Campbell's shortbread but declined another cup of tea.
No evening visit.
Friday December 2
Moira went up about two with Louise and Asha. I arrived just before three. They left and we went for a smoke. Didn't last too long. Back in the ward, a list of toiletries required. Daddy decided he didn't want his shaver left so I'll get some shaving foam and razors. Reading glasses missing, I told the nurse. I took in the first Christmas card, from Eddie Biggins, and he stuck it in his pocket! The lack of evening visits is not causing distress.
No evening visit.
Saturday December 3
I arrived about ten past two, no Daddy, he'd just left the room - so why hadn't I seen him? Then he appeared. He had been in a patient bathroom, about to clean his teeth when he saw me passing so came out sans teeth. We went back, scrubbed the teeth and restored the full face visage. He was wearing his reading glasses, it seems he left them in the bathroom yesterday morning but now where are the other glasses? The nurse will keep his eyes open. I put the soap, shampoo, shaving foam and a couple of disposable razors in the cupboard.
We went for a smoke, tried Condor Blended - a lighter tobacco - but it had an effect just as quickly and has definitely less taste so we'll give up on that idea. Then a cup of tea, I asked if he wanted Jaffa cakes and he thought for a moment then said he would prefer fruit cake. I asked if he wanted some cake to keep by his bed. He said no and a few minutes later asked how much the cake had cost. I said it was not expensive and he said he would have cake rather than Jaffa cakes in future.
We went for another smoke on the way back then returned to the ward. I produced the Evening Times and asked if he would like to have an early edition on weekdays rather than the Express. He said yes.
I left about half past three.
No evening visit.
Sunday December 4
Daddy was lying on the bed but opened his eyes as soon as I arrived. He was keen to go somewhere, so it was off to the smoking room. A short smoke then to the tea room for tea and cake. He confided that he was still getting up and being told to get back into bed but he can't say at what time of day this occurred. Soup for lunch but couldn't remember what came next. Back for more smoke then to the ward. Still no sign of the non-reading glasses, a ward assistant said she would keep an eye open for them. Everything else seems ok. I left him with the Post and the Observer (which has an article on the centenary of St Patrick's Church, Shotts (the building, not the parish)).
No evening visit.
Monday December 5
Went up with Paul. Daddy was sitting in his chair reading a book! He seemed pleased to see us and we soon went for a smoke. After a few minutes, Paul spotted Karen and Sorley passing the door so we all repaired to the tea room. Daddy could remember that he had had mince for lunch and it was very good. That's the first time he has remembered what he had. Then Karen noticed that Sorley has spots on his back and made a rapid departure. Back for another smoke, Paul went off to the dentist, I drew Daddy's attention to the article on St Pat's in the Observer. He hadn't seen it (can't have opened the paper) so read it. I asked if he wanted to keep the paper, he said no, take it home and keep it till I'm back! I asked if he wanted anything, he said no, then that the nurse had used the shaving foam and disposable razor and it was a bit light. I asked if he wanted the electric razor, he said yes, I said did he want to shave now, he said yes, so he had a shave. I asked if he wanted to keep the razor here or should I take it home and bring it back, he said that was the best idea. I left about ten to four.
No evening visit.
Tuesday December 6
Daddy was again reading in his chair, having made progress since yesterday. We went for a smoke, he started to shake quite soon after lighting the pipe. When he'd recovered, we went for tea where a couple recognised Daddy as the organist at St Joseph's. He didn't recognise them. Hands shaking only slightly, ate the piece of cake.
Back to the smoking room again, a reasonable interval before he started to shake, then back to the ward to check the domestic arrangements before I left about five past three, apparently I was barely out the door before Moira arrived.
Moira phoned about four o'clock, the nurse wants to speak to me about Daddy possibly getting home next week.
1830 Daddy was in bed but not asleep, I said hello and went to speak with the nurse. She had forms to fill in for day care and respite care if Daddy is released next week, and wanted to know my attitude. I said it was premature, it would depend on Daddy's behaviour when he got home. If he settled at night, the situation would be containable. She said Dr Burns had ordered an increased dose of quetiapine to see if that would reduce activity. We'll leave it a few days, and she will check with the Day Hospital as she had not been aware Daddy was attending there.
I returned to Daddy, he made reasonable conversation, revisiting this morning's doctors visit. He feels Dr Burns is on his side (that there are two conflicting ward management regimes in operation). He also wanted to work out how to lower the bedside rails so that he could escape more easily. I showed him which lever to operate but it wont work as he has to put his hand through the rails to get at the lever, and that stops the rails collapsing. I left about 1930.
Wednesday December 7
Daddy was sitting in his chair apparently sleeping (no sign of the book) but opened his eyes when I arrived. We went for a smoke, he started to shake almost immediately so we sat for a while then went for tea. Afterwards, back for more smoking, taking a bit longer to start shaking, then back to the ward for a shave, hand over the paper and depart. Still no sign of his non-reading specs.
Daddy is definitely a bit brighter, conversation flows a bit better though still slow, he seems to have more connected thoughts and his short term memory seems to be better.
No evening visit.
Thursday December 8
1405 Daddy was in bed. I asked why, he said "I've just had my supper"! I suggested he get up again, "Why?" "We could go for tea or a smoke" "Oh, well" and he got up and put his trousers and a cardigan over his pyjamas. We went for a smoke, then tea, then another smoke. Still getting an adverse reaction to smoking fairly quickly. Back to the ward, wardrobe ok, glasses still missing. I left him with the paper about 1530.
No evening visit.
Friday December 9
1410 Daddy was still dressed but under the covers. Again, I had to suggest a reason why he should get up, we went for a smoke, usual fairly quick reaction but when I suggested moving on for tea, he demurred, didn't feel too well. So, I produced the flask and he took half a cup from that, and felt well enough to suggest going to the tea room. He had tea and a caramel wafer then back for another short smoke. Back in the ward for a shave, then I left him with the paper.
No evening visit.
Saturday December 10
Moira went up at 2, I arrived about 3, they were in the tea room. Moira left, we went for a smoke, adverse effect quite quickly. Took some tea from the flask, all right by the time we got back to the ward. I gave him the paper and left about half past three.
No evening visit.
Sunday December 11
1405 Daddy was awake in his chair, watching a group of visitors in the corner. We went for a smoke, fairly quick adverse effects, the for tea. I fed him some brack that I had made but he didn't seem to know how to make it more crusty, or whether it would freeze. Another short smoke then back to the ward. I left him with the Post and the Observer about half past three.
Monday December 12
1410 Daddy was combing his hair but desisted when I arrived. I asked how he was today and he said he didn't know, the day was not yet old enough to form an opinion. He was not inclined to go for tea or a smoke but gave me a detailed story about how he had been told to get up and sent back to bed twice already today and they'd had very good porridge for supper. I offered tea from the flask which he accepted and when he'd finished that thought he would see how things were in the smoking room.
So we went along there and lit up. Adam Robertson came in and gave Daddy a Christmas card from the Chaplaincy team, and after he'd gone Daddy complained that they'd excluded the Catholic chaplain from the names on the back. I wonder if there is a Catholic on the team?
Then for tea and a Caramel Wafer, not a glance towards the smoking room on the way back to the ward, and I left him with the paper before half past three.
Tuesday December 13
1410 Daddy was sitting on the edge of the bed reading the paper. He asked if I'd seen the doctor on my way in, I said no, he said the doctor had been round this morning and said he (Daddy) was doing very well and could go home on Thursday. So I went for a word with the nurse who confirmed the story, detailed arrangements to follow.
Off we went to the smoking room, it was pretty full with three patients, one visitor, a wheel chair and a zimmer. So we went for tea instead. I produced some of my first attempt at shortbread, Daddy ate it but was unable to explain the import of some of his timing notes on the recipe. Two ladies sitting beside us recommended longer rather than higher temperature.
Managed a smoke on the way back, it seemed to take a little longer than recently for the shaking to start. Back in the ward, I showed Daddy the latest crop of Christmas cards and left him with the paper at twenty past three.

At the top of the stairs, I asked why he was doing downstairs, he said (with exasperation) "All right, I won't go downstairs", turned away and fell. We got him sitting on the chest, no apparent damage.
After a bit, I asked him if he would lie down on the bed. He said "No". I asked him what he was thinking, he said I had told him to get up and was now telling him it was the wrong time. I tried to explain what had happened, he just sat. I asked again if he would go and lie down, he said yes, went into the bedroom, took off jumper and trousers and got into bed at 0350.
0540 Sitting on edge of bed. "I'll get dressed and go downstairs. "It's too early. Why do you want to go downstairs?" "I have to get the letter." "What letter?" "The letter for my mother - no, not my mother - ...." " I'll have to go down to the toilet."

0910 Daddy was sitting on the edge of the bed. I broke the news that it was too late to go to Mass, "As long as I don't cause any bother" he said. Did he want to go back to sleep? No, he'd get up anyway.

"Oh" Then careful identification of my bedroom and his, couldn't go in because the furniture meant you couldn't stand anywhere, but he did go in after I went in and stood "anywhere", got undressed and into bed.

0230 Upstairs to toilet.
0250 Downstairs again, dozing in his chair.

0155 Another attempt to get up, trousers on by now, sat on the top landing for a while and then set off downstairs at

0830 Phoned Moira and cancelled. Went upstairs and Daddy was out of bed.
0835 Toilet - 0845
0845 Sitting on end of bed, half asleep. Back sore, "just a dull throb", I fed him some painkillers. I suggested getting back into bed, no. "I'll wake up when I get some food in front of me." So I fetched some prunes which he ate but was less than galvanised.
0915 Stretched out on top of bed. I suggested getting under the covers, "No, I'll go downstairs in a minute or two."

0900 Conversation. "What are you going to do now?" "How many of us are keeping watches during the night?" "At night you go to bed and stay awake in case of burglars." I asked "If you don't sleep at night, when do you sleep?" and he dozed off.
0945 I discover he's still wearing his pyjamas under his clothes, he doesn't care, he doesn't want to go to bed for an hour. Conversation confused.
0955 "What are you going to do now?" "I'm gong to bed." And, with a little prompting, he did by 1010.
1140 He wasn't quite asleep. I asked whether he would get up or stay in bed. "What time's Mass?" "Two days ago, this is Tuesday." "I wish they wouldn't do that." and closed his eyes again.

0440 Noises off - He was putting his socks on, then insisted on putting his trousers on over his pyjamas, then his shirt ditto, and got back into bed. He completely ignored my protestations about the hour and the sense of what he was doing. This is unusual, as is what follows.
0520 He was out of bed, put his jumper on, went to the toilet and returned to bed, refusing to take the jumper off.
0715 He was sitting on the edge of his bed, somewhat entangled in his jumper. I straightened him out, persuaded him to remove shirt and trousers and he got back under the covers. I went for the paper.
0730 Yes, he's getting up but lay down again.
0837 He went to the toilet, a bit unsteady. I took his pills up and he seemed unsure about what to do with them, I had to prompt one by one.
0915 I phoned the doctor and asked for a home visit.
0945 He started getting up, required prompting to get dressed.
1005 breakfast - a bit messy.
1050 Dr Ellor arrived, unable to identify a cause (Any stomach pain - No [see later], send to GRI for tests, asked for a one-hour ambulance.
1330 Ambulance service phoned, sorry for the delay, still couldn't say when it would arrive. [Apparently there was a building collapse somewhere.]
1515 Ambulance arrived.
1545 Arrived at GRI, I went to wait in the waiting room.
1755 Called through. There were a lot of people lying around on trolleys, Daddy was in a bay. Dr. Alison (young, crinkly red hair) Grieve? asked the questions, Any stomach pain? - Yes. Blood test infection indicators were high, decided it was probably urinary tract infection. Could send him home with antibiotics but it might be better
to keep him in overnight. I agreed.
1835 ECG 1930 Antibiotics
1937 chest X-ray - 2010
2015 Ward 43. The fact that I was in the waiting room didn't get to the staff nurse so I sat around for an hour before banging on the desk, completing the paperwork and leaving Daddy to their tender mercies.
Saturday February 24
1245 I phoned, they thought Daddy was still a bit confused and would like to keep him another night. I went up for the afternoon visiting and told them I thought he was no more confused than on a bad day at home. They seemed pleased about that. Phone tomorrow about 11.
Sunday February 25
1115 I phoned, Doctor hasn't seen him yet, phone again in an hour.
1200 Hospital phoned, he can get home, they have to arrange a discharge prescription, will phone again when that has been done.
1345 Taking a long time so I phone them, just as the nurse was trying to phone me on another line.
I collected Paul and we went in, there was space in the drop off/pick up area beside the entrance [first time I've seen that], went upstairs and everyone was happy.

1700 Haddock in milk, which he'd asked for when given the option this morning. Pretty disastrous. Started off using his knife to transfer pieces of fish to his mouth. Success rate about one in four, usually falling back into the dish and only splashes onto his jumper. I persuaded him to use a spoon and things went better, just a few drips onto his jumper (I thought). When he'd finished, I discovered he'd been dripping onto his trousers (slight), the front of the chair, and the floor, and possibly pouring onto the edge of the tablecloth.
1800 I gave him his pills early in the forlorn hope that they might have a beneficial effect. He took a biscuit (custard cream) with his postprandial cup of tea and tried to eat his hearing aid. Fortunately he didn't try to stick a biscuit in his ear. Then I managed to stop him taking a pair of scissors to his jumper. Not looking good.

0755 Toilet and decided to go back to bed!
1010 He got up, had his breakfast, a bit slower and messier than usual. I went out for the messages, met Moira who went in to sit with him.
1200 He wasn't making much sense so I decided to call the doctor. First, get him to the toilet, he made heavy weather getting up the stairs, had difficulty fastening his trousers after, but wasn't too bad coming down the stairs.
1310 Phoned NHS24 and was referred to Easterhouse Health Centre, where a Doctor Bachu checked him out, reckoned the urinary tract infection had returned, and prescribed antibiotics.
