11 days since my last update!!
My visit today has been distressing. David was more agitated than I have witnessed for a while. The car would not start
Could I check the petrol? Said yes its ok! Then he was fiddling for the gear stick.
I thought I would play along with this - so I said no need its automatic (yes, I know, auto. still have gear sticks, but...)! Thought for a while then said 'no petrol then'!!
This continued for about an hour so I decided to change tactics. I said you have been quite ill and you are recovering in this Convalescent Home - I will get the AA out to the car!
No, he still looked for the gear lever and kept checking petrol!
Between this I tried to distract him with Thunderball on TV.
Changed again - I said you are in bed, not in a car - because you have not been well.
'Dont be stupid' was the response. 'I am not in bed'.
It was a relief when his tea arrived and I could feed him. He ate happily and I finished it off with a lime/yoghurt jelly which I had taken in.
He slept then and I crept away.
