NOTES:
Sachin was inside the house when I arrived for shift, he was polishing off his dinner and pot of tea. Sachin acknowledged me with a fist bump and a smile. Once Sachin had finished his meal we went to the toilet where he didn’t produce urine, we will get back to this later, we moved on to brushing teeth. Sachin relieved a good clean tonight, approx 5 minutes worth, he had a go himself after I did the bulk clean.
Sachin and I made up our cups of tea, working as a team Sachin acquired the ingredients as I pointed them out to him. We then went to the programs room for jigsaw time.
Sachin appeared to go well for the first few minutes, he then displayed a dazed look at times, staring off into nothing and shakey hands. Sachin has had a high bpm since entering the room, 100 to 110 at times. With Sachin showing warning signs I applied lavender oil to his chin to breath up his nose and sprayed lavender into the pedestal fan to disperse into the room. At 1820 I called a break and encouraged sachin to use the toilet, he failed to produce again. When we returned into the programs room I applied more lavender oil to his chin to breath up and sprayed some more into the pedestal fan. At approximately 1830 hours Sachins bpm lowered to 80’s 90’s, a good start.
Despite his dazing moments, fluctuating heart rate and shakes Sachin managed to complete an astonishing amount of the puzzle tonight.
At 1945 hours Sachin and I went for a walk, a short walk to the end of the street and back, approx 300 meters. Sachin was shakey on his feet. Once we got home it was straight to the couch with a cup of sleep tea and a snack of doritos.
 
Sachin has appeared to have a good night despite the shakes, bpm and dazing moments.
Shift ceased at 2100 hours.
