Last week George's eldest son unexpectedly arrived for a visit. As I am camping in a munted house at present it wasn't something I was prepared for. I rummaged through boxes and found some bedding to make him up a room. Luckily he didn't mind camping too. We spent a lot of time with George and took him out during the day. With two of us we were easily able to manage it. We paced things each day visiting coffee shops and a pub! George just loved it. He had some really good lucid times where he and his son had a great conversation. We had to be careful not to wear him out. One day we did not go out as George was not having a good day and was unable to stand up. It was lovely that he was here for nearly a week so we had the luxury of taking each day as it came, as I usually do. It certainly provided George with a great quality of life during this time.
George has had some really good days since he was here as well as some very sleepy days. He really loved being fussed over by the two of us and it is wonderful to know his son is coming back next month.
In discussions with George when we were talking about what the three of us had done George said
It was marvellous
Fantastic - how we both treasure such moments.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do Paul, sometimes they seem few and far between and then suddenly things are great. Those times make it worthwhile. Like you I have learnt to take each day as it comes..😇
