Today's post just goes to show how difficult it is to follow or predict any kind of trend with Helen's state of being. With no changes in her treatment or anything of that nature, no results (abnormal or otherwise) she has had a much better day both mentally and physically. The only sad event was that Louis, Susan and I took the dogs to Mindil and when we returned found poor Helen had been needing the toilet for a while and had not only been calling out but had fantasised that she had actually gone into several of the neighbour's houses to ask for help. I had to reassure her that I would talk to the neighbours and apologise - but I think actually it probably wasn't as loud as she thought otherwise Michelle certainly would have come over to make sure she was alright. Once we did return and sorted things out Helen seemed very settled again straight away and enjoyed the beginning of a talking book about a woman in 60s Australia who has relationships with pen-pals all over the world - a story just after Helen's heart as those who know her well will be able to imagine.
