I don't know if anyone else has experienced this phenomenum? I spent the whole of last week running around whilst mum was in hospital acting as go-between for hospital and family, family and Mac service and family and family. But now things are calmer with mum being back home and dad being back in control, I just feel absolutely shattered and highly emotional which I feel in no small part is due to the fact that I am no longer running on adrenaline!
I have spent this morning checking on mum, finishing the paperwork to defer my Uni assignment and looking at some literature that a friend has sent to help my kids and their cousins cope with the loss of their Nanny. She is still struggling to bring her pain relief under control and to eat much. If she will be able to pull herself back to where she was before the shingles and GI bleed is in doubt but we still live in hope. X
