Had a review with John's consultant today. She spoke to me first, in the office. She was absolutely lovely. She'd obviously heard about my problems with the GP (who from?), and she agreed that they had no right to refuse to treat.
She was very concerned about me, and said I should cut down my visiting a bit as I looked exhausted. I explained that that was the result of last week's trauma, and I might cut down once things were stabilised.
She's stopped his Reminyl as a trial. She says they may be making him more drowsy now. But if he shows signs of decline, to put him straight back on it, and not try again.
Then she went down to see John, he was in bed. She wanted to see him alone first, so that she could gauge his reaction when I went in. His face lit up when I went in, and he held up his face for a kiss. She said she had no response from him until she told him she'd get Hazel, and then he smiled.
Good old John. That convinced her that the response was still there.
And believe it or not she's going to assign a CPN to monitor the situation -- we've never had a CPN, one of my complaints!
My darling John played a blinder today!
