Last Saturday Dad was collected by privet ambulance and taken to the Helen Lay Centre for his final period of respite this year. Unlike previous visits - this was one he had decided he didn't want to have. Due to a mix-up, mother hadn't packed all his medication so I took Mum and the medication down to the centre on Sunday afternoon and Dad was much more receptive after having had a damned good sleep and plenty of food and rest. He was in excellent spirits and glad to see us, as jovial as he can be and chatty from start to finish.
Mother was upset by Dad's initial bad attitude towards the respite trip but aftr Sunday's visit she was much happier. I've spoken to her most evenings this week and she seems in good spirits and (weather permitting) he will be delivered back home this Saturday.
