MiL reported the pain from her neuralgia has not occurred all week which is a relief as this is such an obvious handicap to her.
Apparently it’s because she changed her toothpaste.
Wife tried to suggest that the changed medication might have started to eventually take effect.

I'm sorry Baz - I had to laugh at that.
Glad you had a better time with your mum today Daisy.
FiL was not good this afternoon, also on a loop, not retaining anything and talking random rubbish - apparently his employers have sent him a letter saying that they are going to let him go. He was also insisting that he is going to buy a new car and talking about getting a touring caravan too.

That's good, LD, crying parents are so sad (not least because it's one of the hardest bits to take of the role reversals somehow).

Oh no LMH, perhaps he's not drinking enough for the weather?
I shouldn't laugh Baz, but that sounds just like something Aunt in law would say!
The medication saga continues. I called the surgery this morning, their clinical pharmacist has issued a prescription (it still has to be signed by a doctor before it can go to the pharmacy).
However, they've only issued five of the seven medications she's on. And the two they haven't done are the two that will have side effects from both stopping suddenly and then restarting.
MiL ran out of some tablets on Saturday and some yesterday.
The pharmacy had already rung the surgery about it, the pharmacist I've been dealing with has been great.

I don't think dehydration is an issue Carp - though the amount of squash that he is drinking may mean that diabetes could be. I don't know if it would apply but my chemist will issue emergency medication on production of an empty box of said product if they have been the one supplying it on repeat - might be worth a phone call?

The previous pharmacy have refused and the new one is doing all they can. It's the surgery holding things up unfortunately.
Good that your dad is drinking well - so many older people don't drink enough.

The old man spent a week up here, he liked the Peak Ditrict, and was surprised that we have countryside in the North. I then spent a week down at his, and spent most of it painting the outside of his house, which was needed, ladders, I am not good at ladders.
He seems fine, not sure he is eating that well, so gave a few lessons but the house is tidy enough, seems to cope, the garden is the problem, which I shall fix next visit.

An ordinary computer can make a fair stab at producing text from speech - is there any means of making a phone do that?

I should think so. The speech recognition software is already installed - that's how 'okay Google' works.
