The meds started working yesterday, thankfully... And his system started working...but to keep him safe I had to get up with him every time he did through the night...but come the morning, it was all systems go...and he started to be more himself again, at last.
I have a Systems drinks bottle...which holds 800ml...he has drunk just over 2 litres of sports rehydration drink today.....and proper food for three meals too. He won't be 100% straight away...but we are going in the right direction.
Even I had a nap on the sofa this morning!! We had a TV and radio day, with minimal "news". Having messages and calls from all his friends is bpvery heartening for him.
In front of him the Canterbury, a present from our late friend Big Pete...full of books.
On the wall, a map of NZ. On the top shelf a Denbyware jug, and nearer, an earthenware puzzle jugs that I made in Porthmadog Pottery in the old Snowdon Mill in about 1996.
Below that a teapot made by Mick Morgan who was a year ahead of me at Cardiff College of Art and is still making lovely work, near Carmarthen I think. On top of it a small white teacup made in NZ. (Crown Lynn?)
In the bottom shelf and earthenware pitcher..from Devon? And on top of that a small bowl and jug from Eastern Europe.. possible Romania.
Then at the end of the mantelpiece an oil lamp from Doulton Lambeth..where grandma's great-aunts, the Misses Budden worked as paintresses.
A collection of things..which give a little of me?

Love the braid, not to mention all the details of wonderful pottery!
Aye and I be lovin' that braid! The Pirate has maintained his personna! Good news about his recovery from the dehydration. Good work on your part, Nurse GZ!
And I loved the tour. Nice to see your pottery, that you've made and that you've collected. All these things make a house a home, as the old expression goes.
You are his Person. Respect.
May the good food and drink therapy work wonders. Thank you for the little glimpse.
...good news.
Doing the right thing is the right thing. Good.
Good to hear that things have started going in the right direction.
Glad to hear Pirate is improving. It is lovely having items that mean something to you in your home.
A eclectic collection like our house. Any chance of a post on the Misses Budden?
Good to hear he is coming along.
And I’m. Glad you had a nana nap too. The carers need to look after themselves so they can keep caring
Dave I will do a bit more research on them, and their brother who worked with the Doulton owner in the early 1900s
Good news xxxx
Good to hear he is feeling more himself and less rubbish - easier for you too xx
I am so glad Pirate is better! He has great hair!
I love to see what’s people’s shelves—they’re indeed a little of them.
Beautiful hair, Pirate.
So glad systems are working!
His hair along with his braid looks awesome, and I'm so glad he's feeling better!
Good that Pirate healing. Amazing meds work well and you've administered them well. It is hard when a loved one is not well. You have a lovely collection of pottery from all over the world. Beautiful.
All your favorite things gathered in one picture. Lovely...the glimpse of your room and all you hold dear does say a great deal about you. Most of which I already guessed.
Coming over to say hello! And enjoying all your unique pottery. Nice collection. I like the braid too. So glad your guy is on the mend. Dehydration can be so sneaky!
