    Don't know what's wrong with me.  I haven't slept well for about a fortnight, something I usually don't have a problem with.  I feel headachy, light headed and my muscles ache and yet I don't think I'm physically ill.  I would understand it if I'd been like this when mum was first diagnosed but she is doing so well and I don't think I'm worrying consciously, yet I don't feel right.…

    Just back from seeing Les Miserables.  It was absolutely fantastic and although mum and I have seen it many times already we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Mum is in good spirits and feeling well.  Short and sweet tonight as I'm really tired and need to get some sleep if I'm to get up for work in the morning.

    The stairlift guy arrived dead on 9am and was finished by 11.30am.  Now that it's been fitted mum is quite happy to use it.  She was really tired when I came home at lunch time and has gone back to bed now.  She was, however, in good spirits and used her new toy to get upstairs to her bedroom.  I think she thought it would get in the way but now that she sees it's unobtrusive she's quite happy.

    The dreaded smoking…
