More himself


It is with great relief that I say the Fox is beginning to be a bit more like his old self. The last couple of days he’s managed to do & eat more. We did manage the big shop. We even went out for a drink before relaxing over dinner, unlike the previous week when we did a small shop & he’d had to collapse into a couple of hours’ worth of lie-down.

As for eating he’s managed a similar size portion to what I’ve had. Admittedly we’ve had lighter meals i.e. salads, the last couple of days as it has turned hot. Yesterday he even suggested having a dessert of some ice cream. The real test will be today when I am intending to cook a chicken & asparagus pasta dish, a hot meal for a change, but I am quite hopeful.

The only mishap happened last night when his legs just went from under him. He landed with an almighty crash, sending a lamp flying – fortunately the glass shade did not shatter – & tea everywhere. Quite what happened we’re not sure. He had some difficulty getting up afterwards even after I’d moved mugs of tea & the lamp to one side. It certainly knocked his self-confidence. Hopefully it was a one off but he is anxious it may happen again.
