Notes
Mum Worked for Mr Ashken and Mr Stephens
During this period, mum worked as part-time medical secretary for the private practice of two surgeons, Mr Ashken and Mr Stephens, see Chapter 121. This practice was based at 41 Newmarket Road. She worked all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and half day on Fridays. On this occasion, as it was Wednesday, she worked all day.
Rev Dowson
FR refers to Rev F R Dowson. Frederick Rodham Dowson entered the Methodist ministry in 1936. He was born in Haxby, York on 5 August 1912 and he died in Selsey on 4 September 2011, aged 99. I believe he was superintendent Minister for the Park Lane circuit from 1968 to 1974. He and mum were close and they spoke and corresponded frequently, see Chapter 114. On this occasion, he rang briefly in the morning (am).
Young Wives
Mum went to a Young Wives (YW) meeting at night. This was a women’s group that mum belonged to at St Peter’s Park Lane Methodist Church, see Chapter 124.
Dad Worked from Home
Roy refers to my father Royle Drew. He had come to stay for a few days. He spent the day working from home. Mum’s main concern was that he was using her central heating, see Chapter 114.
Church Family Committee Secretary
Mum informed Rev Ream (Mr R), the senior Minister at St Peter’s Park Lane Methodist Church that she would be resigning as Church Family Committee Secretary, see Chapter 124.
Antidepressants
Mum had had severe struggles with her mental health, suffering with depression and anxiety, see Chapter 116. She was on antidepressants. She took one tablet of amitryptilline (Tryptizol, T) at night.
Senokot
Mum noted taking one Senokot (S) presumably for constipation. Senokot is a senna-containing medicine for the treatment of constipation.
