Up before 7 am backache! - Olive's milk was early and a buff envelope (post) thought it was about my Home Help Relief! but it was for Olive re Home Help. I think but I have not seen her to ask. I felt very bewildered and rather ill - after 9 am my letter re H Help Relief came - 'Mrs Aires" 11-12 to day. Have appointment Dr Young 4pm -so lot of washing and all clean clothes (injection Dr Jenkins away) as usual apart from arm for injection, no other part of body seen!!. Mrs Aires arrived (car) a trifle late she had been told number 9!! that is where the post went too. Mrs Norton must have brought it along. Mrs Norton (H Help Boss) telephoned here for Mrs Aires quite long conversation - she, Mrs Norton, wanted me to let Mrs Aires off 10 minutes early!!! and she had arrived a bit late, so -what sort of hours am I getting. Mrs N, wanted , Mrs A. to go back to her home and then to Mrs N's office? funny!!She did a little bit of hovering - think she is not go to "Housework" very well - and come Thursday I am going to be munus 1\4 hour, shopping still windy, sun and rain - my "eye" is not seeing - I'm so worried - legs and feet, legs swollen.
Tuesday August 13th spoke too soon about legs, but first Olive lost money again? Rober Welmot was so wrong to get here a "Home Help" he should have known better - but as yet 1 day - it isn't it HH - but the District Nurse !! as I went out (to my cost) about 11.15 - no sing of Olive then - hadn't taken milk I had put in shady place - she had been up unlocked door but no attempt to take her own milk in - I did not get back till 1.20 - so I am not accused at the moment. Made the P.O. could not sit there - in precinct slumpeddown on seat and missed it - fell nearly to ground but chucked seat and pulled myself up this to the 2right side2 unusual. Eye bad did slow journey home. Trying afternoon sleep - suddently woke with right leg terrible spasms of pain screaming kind poor leg and m e - must have broken a big vein in morning fall, exactly where these pain spasms started years ago.
Wed August 14th P.C from Hilda she is in Pinner is a "fall a day" good for one like an apple a day? After brief afternoon's sleep standing up putting cushions back, just fell down to the right again surprised and puzzled
Thursday 15th August Shall not be able to keep this up much longer,sight dim. Card from Switzerland "Jennie" up her Alp - with Wyn) surveying a valley icy ravines etc, but by now she has finished there (i week) and joined Jeff and Helen at Martigny where ever that is. Home Help 9.45 so I had to be up early my dressing and wretched water and bowels wasted me such a lot of time in morning. Re Home Help they have cut me down by 1/2 hour so little can be done - except shopping and a fresh hovering. This one was a Mrs P? Next week I day Monday and Wednesday Mrs Aird I think - such a worry with changes - Bank Holiday next - then no one but we pay, Olive has just been given a Home Help - gets a Friday too - I never could think she is "homely" and has no transport. Olive of course lost her money? Robert Wilmot found or sorted it out.
Friday August 16th.had such awful indigestion these last two days thought it was the brown bread I had bought by mistake on Tuesday. when I fell in precinct so sallied forth blindly up Albert Road for white bread forgot microscope kind gentleman found me soup packets Knorr and stock cubes but would you believe? when I checked to pay, the girl said I had a brown loaf!! told her I wanted "white"!! they had altered wrapper - just "brown" on small round end I staggered home safely - could not eat lunch and slept after waiting to pay milkman, from 3pm - 1/4 to 8pm. Terrible tummy had to wait for food and I could not go to bed early - so I am again.
Sat August 17th managed at last to write P.H.A re Age "Concern" and Helen's part in it. The complaint!!!
