Mum had a brilliant sense of humour, and it’s the happy and fun stuff that’s getting us through at the moment, so I know she wouldn’t mind me sharing this with you. We had two carers in for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, plus a district nurse calling daily. During the last few days, the nurse was a little puzzled by Mum’s skin still being a good, natural colour. I mentioned this to the carers and they agreed that it was quite unusual for someone so poorly. Then I realised that the carers were very gently and carefully washing Mum twice a day with Dove body wash – the one for ‘holiday skin’ with built-in ‘body glow’. Boy, did we all laugh about that, even Mum thought it was hilarious that she should look like she’d just been on her holidays! Mandy xx |
