What a super weekend, and completely unexpected as I wasn't looking forward to it at all. Very relaxing and achieved everything I wanted to. It was good to see the dentist so calm and so much happier than earlier in the year. Also to spend time with JS and have the courage to be honest with her about her situation. I am wondering whether it is worth writing to reinforce that only she can help herself. The NHS could provide the best service in the world, RMS could nag her or help her every day, but she is the only one who can bring about improvements in her health. No-one can do the exercises for her - it's her muscles that need to strengthen and develop and only she is the only one who can do that for herself. At least she recognises that something needs to be done now and maybe her visit to someone in similar cirucumstances will spur her on.
It was a beautiful day yesterday too and the garden looks good, especially the back which is developing into an attractive area at last. All in all a very successful three days.
