My Mum was starting to do really well, we were able to get her out of bed and in her wheelchair to sit in the lounge with us for a few afternoons, she was becoming really chatty (not making much sense) but still it is always good to hear her waffling on :)
But last Thursday afternoon/night she started sleeping a lot more, she had a seizure and then stopped responding to most of our questions, and then I was having to literally force the tablets into her mouth. A complete turn (for what can only be...
So we've had an emotional time of it lately, and last week felt quite sad because it was the first anniversary of losing grandad and mum hadn't remembered. She has had an awful lot on her mind t be fair, and I hadn't fully appreciated just how concerned she was about her latest MRI scan.

I feel so lucky to have such an amazing best friend. Just got home from a surpirse week away in Birmingham, Cardiff and London. I've never laughed so much in one week, it reaaaally did take my mind off EVERYTHING. It was time away, we were able to laugh together and cry, so needed that. The night before we were due to go my mum took a turn for the worst, but it was planned so i returned home every other day to see her. SO thoughtful and even visited my grandparents whilst in birmingham.
Now...
I remember the joys of last years fresher's week very well, everything was so exciting, meeting all these new people, going out and having a good time and generally having too much to drink as a result. This time round I don't think I have ever felt so miserable.
Leaving my mum with terminal cancer last Saturday was excruciatingly difficult. She was diagnosed in February whilst I was at university she decided to tell me on 16th August (a day I don't think ill ever forget). I hate being away...
