It feels like there’s change in the air. Anna is calm, except when she is upset, when she is very upset. Monday morning started with her having new problems first thing, and Ann helped her to get herself sorted. Then there were others to help, her friend Lynn, and Lynn’s husband Bob who is painting the outside of the house. I had a telephone call with the community OT, another Lynn, helping me to think through what is going to be a busy week. She is organising a meeting of all the carers for Wednesday – which is a really good way of supporting them all, and I appreciate what she and Kate, the nurse, are doing. And she gave me advice about another assessment that is being made on Thursday, from the social services OT department – their third assessment this year. And the district nurses will be calling to make their assessment – possibly on Wednesday. More assessment than action, I might think, but that is the way it works. Marta, one of Anna’s Polish carers is back from her wedding in Poland, and will be coming today again. I hope that will work out. Lynn herself will be back on Friday. I feel that we need a social secretary to cope with all the coming and going.
