Well I got mum up at 6.15am and helped her get washed and dressed. We had our breakfast and then I set off for work at 7.30am safe in the knowledge that she had her phone in her pocket and Gillian and the kids just next door. She said she would phone me throughout the day to let me know she was ok and I gave her the times when I wouldn't be in meetings. Gillian was taking her to the dentist to have her impression…
Here I am again in panice mode! Back to work tomorrow and mums legs, and arms, seem to have got really weak in the last few days. She is also sore from her fall on Friday night.
This morning mum came into my room and woke me up at around 8.30am, once I'm asleep I hear nothing! She was soaking with sweat and asked if I could come and help her get dressed. It turned out she'd been trying to get out of bed for 30 minutes…

We got to the hospital at 8.15am for mums x-ray and were, then, an hour early for mums oncology appointment but went along anyway…
