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?
