It was a hot night, but I slept pretty well. I was up soon after 6:30 and pottered about until it was time to walk to Zoe's and collect Ellie for school. She was a bit concerned by the heat, but I convinced her that there was little you can do to change it, so try to ignore it. The more you think about it, the more it will trouble you.
I headed straight home. There was some vacuuming and some tidying up to do so that there were no obstacles on the floor when Di came home. I was nearly caught out when I got a phone call at 10:30 to say that Di had been discharged. I grabbed my sunglasses and car keys and headed off to Chichester. They were just finishing a briefing on the meds when I arrived. We packed her stuff and loaded the car. A porter wheeled her down, and we whizzed off home.
Once home, I took the bare essentials upstairs, and Di went up for a rest. Fortunately, she was able to sleep and though she had a bad night last night was able to get about 4 hours during the afternoon. Soon after she woke up, Denise called, and they had a brief chat. She has resolved to call again tomorrow.
Meanwhile, at Sainsbury's, there was chaos as the fridges and freezers had broken down and the gas canisters had drained. Zoe would be delayed, so I had to collect Ellie from school and bring her back here. Ellie was not amused. However, after some time with Nana, she snapped out of it and was her usual self. I gave her dinner, and as she was finishing up, Zoe arrived. All was well in Ellie's world.
We had a very quiet evening, having moved some furniture so Di could sit on a more appropriate chair than the usual Stressless recliner.
