Chairing is caring
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Tuesday, 14th of April 2020
Nat and I visited Mr P this morning to move a chair for him.
I had been to the house a couple of weeks ago to move a sofa so Mr P could be discharged from hospital. It was great to see that he had made it back home.
Directed by Mr P's wife, Mrs M, we made quick work of moving the chair outside. There is now space for a better chair to be delivered by the OT.
Before leaving we had a quick chat to Mrs M to see how she was getting on. It's been tough for her caring for her husband in isolation, not helped by incessant texts from TFL asking her to renew her congestion charge! Nat to the rescue - having previously worked for the company that makes Mr P's mobile phone, she was able to help Mrs M identify the problem number so she can safely ignore the calls in future.
We said our goodbyes, had a quick distance-selfie, then Nat headed to her next mission and I headed home for work.
