I arrived at the Hospice about 10-10.30 and for the first time I had to wait for a nurse to come and get me and take me to Mo, the reason I had to wait was because Mo was having a bath!!??. Talk about cliches, 'ups and downs',peaks and troughs,a rollercoaster ride, Jo the nurse-in-charge came and got me and even apologised for keeping me waiting and took me into Mo.

Sue and I went to have a smoke so my mum had a bit of 'quality time' with Mo. Eventually we went in and got a big smile…
I tried not to visit Mo today as it was 'Bill Tuesday' and Carol had texted me saying she would be visiting Mo about 11.30 so I was glad someone was visiting her this morning. As I was out doing the 'boring stuff' feeling quite positive Carol texted me again saying she was having a lovely time with Mo and she had a lot of kisses and hugs.
