Katie is one of my favourite ladies although she is very hard of hearing Whenever you enter the house you know she is up because the television will be on at full volume. I often spend time having a chat with the use of a pen and notepad.. It was on one of these occasions that a thought struck me that she did not have subtitles on her television. So I spent five minutes fathoming out how to get them up on the screen and when she realised what I had done her face lit up. I went away quite chuffed with myself and could not think why I or anybody else had not thought of it before. I suspect that the neighbours probably appreciated the peace and quiet as well, because now she has no sound on at all.
Some time after I had done this good deed I was talking to one of her other carers about what I had done,
‘Oh! that was you was it,' she said 'You gave me such a shock, I thought she had died when I went in the next day because it was so quiet’
