Day 25 – Sunday 7 December
Another relatively quiet weekend day.
As there is no physio or anything at weekends there is very little for Paul to do so we tried to get in a little earlier today. Paul and Pat played a couple of games of pairs; a number of pairs of cards are put face down on the table and each player has to look at 2 cards in turn and try to find a pair. If the 2 they pick are not a pair they are put back face down. This is quite a simple game, but is good for exercising Paul’s memory as he has to try and remember where the cards are.
The nurses recommend that Paul sits in his wheelchair for a couple of hours every day so we took him over to the WRVS cafe for an hour or so and then Andrew, Eilidh and Amy arrived. Pat and I left them to it and then it was time for supper again!
One or two of you have asked for the address of where Paul is, which is as follows:
Maidencraig Rehabilitation Unit
Woodend Hospital
Aberdeen
AB15 6LS
Tel: 01224 556216
The other thing that has happened is that yesterday Paul asked for his phone which we took in this morning; he read his text messages OK and started to send the odd text so all being well you should be able to send him text messages if you want to. With his double vision he got quite tired looking at the phone and it was obviously a bit of a strain, so I guess he won’t be it using that much but I am sure he would welcome the odd text but it may take a little while for him to reply.
Final thing to note is that Paul has a couple of appointments at the ARI on TUESDAY 9 DECEMBER so he won’t be at Maidencraig during the day. The first appointment is at 1000 (X-Ray) and then he has an appointment with the ophthalmologist at 1400 for his double vision. It is therefore quite likely that he won’t be back until quite late and will probably be quite tired so it might be better to avoid visiting that day if possible.
Not really much else to report today except that once again Paul seemed relatively quiet and subdued today, but I guess that might be because he is tired?
