I went to see The Banjoman at his Care Home on Wednesday, having been told he ate a full English breakfast (with assistance) on Tuesday morning! He is restless and fidgety and trying to get out of his bed which now has bars for his safety. He objected to a member of staff feeding him cake but when it was just the two of us he managed to hold an ordinary glass to drink some ginger beer and a two handled cup to have a cup of tea. Then he ate a biscuit by himself. He has obviously turned the corner again for the second time this year, third time in twelve months.
Earlier the staff got him out of bed and sitting in a chair while they changed his bed and apparently he suddenly pushed up with his hands and was standing there rather wobbly so they daren’t leave him sitting out in a chair incase he tries that again and falls. A physiotherapist visited him but he couldn’t engage with her to learn how to try to walk.
Somehow I th8nk this saga might run and run!
