This will be another day of unlimited praise for Silver Chain, but first a report on the patient and her consort.

The pain is still here in force, maybe a slight reduction but still controlling Elaine. Yesterday we had a minor change in medication and a change in timing after a chat with the a Silver Chain nurse, as yet I don't know whether we have made any gains.

Today I had a play date with my granddaughter Lyla  and Nannee, after waking at 7.30am for pills, was still asleep when I left to pick her up. She was still asleep when we got back around midday!  Stephanie, the Silver Chain nurse, visited again shortly after our return to check up on yesterday's action with Dr Chan. At the same time she checked madams vitals and the Silver Chain van delivered a walking frame. This service is rather extraordinary and must take an awful lot of pressure off the patient, the patient's family and of course the hospital system. Fantastic!

Just one other comment, not only am I worn out running around with Lyla (a bit of an exaggeration as  it is more walking around and keeping an eye on her without interfering with her playing) but I really enjoy the time spent with her. She isn't perfect but it is still lovely.
