Wow, lovely news Dave. Always great to here good news. I also echo what others have said about this thread. It is comforting to be able to pop in and share how we feel or what is happening to our loved ones - it can be very lonely dealing with such things. It is a shame that we have to deal with stuff but that is life. Big hugs to those that need a cwtch xx |

Saw my mum today - I was quite shocked at how weak she is. She was only half-dressed when I arrived so I saw her shoulders and upper arms maybe for the first time in 50 years, so that's also quite a shock, how thin she is and how wrinkly. Physically I imagine she's days away from being bedridden, and mentally she's declined by what feels like 80% in the past two weeks. That may be because she is just too tired to make any effort. I only stayed with her for an hour today, if you subtract the time she was asleep. I think death has always been in her thoughts. She told me when I was very small that she wanted to die in a deck-chair in her garden of a summer's afternoon; she told my sister that one day she would take a taxi to Mam Tor and just sit there till she died. I wonder what else she's thought. |
