Poor woman.

[littlefacey]

Thank you so much for all your help! You've been amazing!!

Sorry for the delayed reply i've not been well

[littlefacey]

Going through my transcript of the original record i've got a few outstanding parts and wondered if anyone can help? I'll only put one up at a time this time!!

[littlefacey]

Quinine was given with her food and that made her go the wrong way. Her brain seem to go too ?? round & round as she couldn't catch it? She thought of too many things at once.


This sentence confuses me!

[mckha489]

I think they might be quoting her. 

Ie, they gave  her quinine with her food. Then she reported that it was making her “go the wrong way” my brain feels sharp, it’s going round and round and I can’t catch it.

My theory anyway,

It’s sounds very unpleasant

Ah okay! That would make more sense! Sounds horrid bless her!

Appears to be ?? ?? and ?? lost to her surroundings. Vacant smiling. Untidy & dirty.

'Appears to be much reduced mentally and
 quite lost to her surroundings; inattentive,
 vacant, or smiling; untidy + dirty (?dpctor's initials?)'

I suspect that 'dirty' in this context might refer to incontinence.
