More helpful equipment

It's been a busy day. Jodi Gannon, Wendy's visiting nurse, assembled the suction machine that was delivered a day or two ago, so from now on we can use it, as dentists do, to clear excess saliva and mucus secretions that occasionally build up in Wendy's mouth and at the back of her throat and cause distressing feelings of choking. Dorothyanne and Peter were here at the same time as Jodi so once again I was deprived of an opportunity to chat at leisure to Peter and find out more about his travels with Sylvie in Cambodia and Vietnam. There was time between moments getting instructed by Jodi about the suction machine for Peter to tell us that he and Sylvie will edit the thousands of pictures they took, add a commentary and get the whole thing made into a book of their travels, perhaps something like the book we made of Selected Works of Janet Wendy Last. Just as Jodi left, our expert on aids to getting about, occupational therapist Courtney Henderson arrived, soon followed by Shelly from the equipment supplier, with the good news that Wendy's power wheel chair will be ready next week. It seems that we won't much longer have to feel like Vladimir and Estragon, Waiting for Godot. The chair will be fitted with a tray table that can hold her speech synthesizer. The combination will add greatly to Wendy's mobility and capability to communicate.
