Having a bad day

Honey, I'm hugging you tight. I wish we could be with you at the funeral to support you.

Jenny lots of love  and supportive thoughts. Impossible situation which you cant do better than your best x

Was talking to one of the carers at the nursing home today and he said that mum's so lovely, everyone likes looking after her.  A few of them have said that now.  But that's because she is lovely.  :-)

Maisiemae.... sod them ! Your eulogy will be perfect from you to your precious Mum and if YOU are happy with it then that's all that matters because your mum will know how much you loved her and how much you did for her and she will be with you in the hall and so will all of us!! Right by your side

I showed my eulogy to Jill to my two boys and they told me it was perfect and despite it not all been complimentary to certain people (without naming of course) that was all that mattered to me that the boys were happy with what I wrote to try somehow to get 27 years into less than ten minutes. If anyone else found any part of it uncomfortable then that was their conscience pricking them so like I say SOD THEM. You have done your best and you are a kind decent human being

Thankyou everyone! Xxx

Maisiemai,

You will be superb because you have written from the heart and you loved and cared for your mum totally.

Sod them,

Thinking of you, we had 8 minutes! Were asked not to Embellish by the vicar when he read it, but it's what we wanted to say, so we did.

Hello all. Been at hospital for hours. Yesterday had to help nurse hold mum as not enough staff.

Mum made them laugh today about incontinence knickers they were saying these are the good ones...she said "not sure I'd want to wear them anywhere special" .

Her breathing is difficult but she has a better colour. She asked to see the hospital chaplain today. She's very frightened.  Her scan shows that the pelvic tumours have fractured her pelvis...a hairline fracture and they don't want her to stand at all. I need an update on this as was going to speak to the doctors today but Dad was admitted to hospital today so we had to go and see him.

Dad has a chest infection and is confused.  Need more info on this tomorrow too as a and e was too busy to get proper answers.

So we were there hours and just have more questions. 

A lovely volunteer gave mum reflexology though.

I'm coughing still. No surprises there given stress levels.

Sorry Maisiemae about the trouble your family are giving you.

Elenium of course they love your Mum.

I feel surreal. 

Hug.

Jenny, what a nightmare! You must be exhausted. Your poor mum. Have they moved your dad to a ward? 

Keep us posted.

Jenny inlove yr mums humour even at this time, mums was similar. She was quite particular about which pads when and ive a huge pile at her house from various 'fashions and needs' Actually i cld bring to london if anyone wants them... Ive done stranger things! Jenny how are you breathing at all with this amount of pressure, i can only summise that the surrealness is the mind slightly removing you from the intensity to allow the breathing. This period of my life feels now like it never happened. Was it real? My thoughts are with you - really you are quite incredible xxx

Hi yantibee,

How was your first day back at work?
