Just as I predicted mum bounced back from her low mood. She got up this morning at 11.30am, had a shower, got dressed and was raring to go by 1pm. We went and did some food shopping before spending some time wandering round the clothes shops. Mum bought herself 3 tops and then we went to Franky & Bennys for tea. We had a really nice time and it felt very normal. She refused point blank to use the wheelchair and coped very well with the walking around.
Tomorrow the guys are coming to fit the stairlift. Here's hoping it doesn't take too long as mum gets very tired if she has to get up early and can't get back to bed for a sleep after lunch. They couldn't give us an arrival time and just said it could be anytime from 8am. I've tried to convince mum she should stay in bed until they arrive but she's insisting she gets up at 7am so that she can have a shower and get dressed before 8am just in case they arrive first thing.
