Margaret news

Margaret's time ran out at the nursing home so her daughter in America said she can return home.  Margaret has no one at home to care for her and except for Brian, her friend, she has to cope on her own.  her dementia is so advanced now that she is not capable of caring for herself.  Brian brought her home and she fell over on her way into the house.  i've been going down there some mornings to make her tea and toast. the other day i'd been out all day looking after Maz, that's another story, and went down there to see if she was ok.  i heard her but she sounded far away, she was calling out but i couldn't hear what she was saying.  i went to go around the back and she had moved a massive block of wood from in front of the gate.  she said she's been locked out and was laying on the ground for ages.  i took her inside and made her a cuppa and put her back to bed.  when i went down there that night she had no idea what had happened.  her daughter is coming in a week or so.  i hope she does and Margaret is looked after.  she would have been better off in the nursing home, at least she would have been safe in there.
