Hi had a lovely visit with Dianna. The bonus was that Phil was there so we three visited for about 45 minutes and then he left. Dianna looked much better than the last picture posted on the blog.
I read to her then and what a joy to me when she stroked my hand as I was reading..I think she was in her way telling me she knew I was there. Naturally I had tears!!
The nurse brought in her medication which she as very good in taking, not that she didn’t make a face because she did. Too funny. The nurse commented that she must be hungry since she did not get up until 11:00 and missed breakfast so she brought her a banana which she “gobbled”. I gave her a drink from her cup and was a little surprised that the liquid was very thick so I had to ask the nurse about that because i was not sure what I was giving her. Found out all her liquids are now thickened to help her swallow.
Next lunch came and OMG it was all pureed. In former years Dianna would have been appalled because she was so particular in her cooking and presentation. However, she ate everything and then started to fall asleep. So I got another pillow for her to rest so her neck would not get stiff, told her I was leaving so she could have a nap, gave her a kiss and told her I loved her.
Got outside and cried.....Oh how I miss her!!!!
You must come and see her more often Linda. I know she enjoys your company and remembered that you had read to her.
