Arrived about 2 and it's music afternoon!! I haven't managed to be here when the done one yet. There is a woman on a piano and another singing. It's really good. All the residents are upstairs listening and joining in if they can. The woman is singing mostly old stuff - Elvis, Vera Lynn, opera and musicals. Helen had just got out of the lift and she the HCA said she had been smiling. I pushed her into the activity room and found a space. And she was smiling!!!! It's the first time I have seen her do it. It was quite emotional. She was smiling during some of the music. She also seemed to be moving her mouth. It didn't last for long but it did happen.
Eyebrows finally plucked - they were threatening to take over her face!
Madam is getting a porker now. She needs new trousers. Apparently they don't fit her very well anymore! I must find out how much weight she has put on. She isn't really a porker though. It's just gone on her top half. I thought her upper arms were looking bigger but didn't like to point it out! They'll have to make new splints for her soon.
I have finally told her that Primrose got run over and died. She was moving her mouth before then and she seemed to stop when I told her - might be coincidence though. I told her that we has a new kitten.
Spoke with Chris Hinton, the Financial Director, about the fundraising event. He is going to arrange some badges to be made up for Arron, Nell and me so that people are happy about who is organising the event. Arron has arranged the event to be in The Gun and there will be karaoke, raffle and hopefully some wrist bands (as long as they get here in time). Got to write off for raffle prizes from companies.
Blood sugar of 2.6 at 1930, just before I left. Sugar water given. I left the projector on for her because she was knackered.
Bought Sanex Kids bath foam for her because she has to have pH neutral bath/shower stuff now. Research has shown that pH neutral cleansing agents are best for preventing skin breakdown in vulnerable people.
