Wiggling Toes and Trying to Smile

Me: Faye is going to miss ‘her dogs’.

Nell: We’re going to miss her too but it’s not that long until August.

Me: I’m glad the sun is shining for them today. Yesterday was awful.

Nell: It was a little rainy. Now, tell us about your visit to Alex.

Me: She’s doing so much better. Her eyes are open and she definitely knew it was me.

Nell: Wonderful.

Me: She nodded her head a little and wiggled her toes. Kev wants to take up tap dancing and he said he and Panda are going to learn together.

Nell: Panda is your name for Alex?

Me: Yes. When he said ‘Come on Panda, I need a tap dance partner’ her eyes crinkled a bit so I think she was smiling.

Nell: She’ll be able to smile properly once they remove the ventilator.

Me: I know. I just hate seeing her like that and knowing I can’t do anything.

Nell: You can. She knows she is loved.

Me: And Kev made her smile.

Nell: Exactly.

Me: And she moved her arm onto her chest on her own which the nurse hadn’t seen her do before.

Nell: Good for her.

Me: And her daughter was there this morning and she was interacting with her and even tried to blow her a kiss goodbye.

Nell: This is all wonderful news.

Me: It is. I told her again about all the messages of love and support and I’m sure she heard me.

Nell: Talking of support, today is the 1st April so we need to post the link to the site where people can buy you a cup of Earl Grey.

Me: I never like asking people.

Nell: That’s why I’m doing it. It’s https://www.buymeacoffee.com/saramartin and your support is much appreciated.

Me: Thank you. Sorry.
