O jen my poor dear friend, I wish i was there to give you a big hug:grouphugg: . Life is so unfair at times, I hope your mum beats this disease again, I will keep you both in my prayers. xx
Thank you - sadly she can't beat it this time..
I've managed to get sis to agree to a "calendar of care" for mum so that we both get to spend as much time with mum, and looking after mum as we can.
I have seen how she can fluctuate from one day to the next,... have to tell you though... the sense of humour remains.
Mum and I have many a chuckle... she was very "bunged up" and I arranged for a nurse to come and help.. and yesterday morning my phone pinged with a text from mum that simply said... "Bombs Away"
LOL
Poor sis had to do the clearing up (which I have to admit did make me chuckle too.. evil cow that I am... lol ) and she said it all but blocked the loo! HAHAHAHHA!!
Mum feels sooo much more comfortable for her bombing session.. lol... so.. pain seems to be under control... and we have become fixated on her bowel movements (or lack thereof) at the moment!
Mummy 2-poos went to Mummy no-poos, to Momma Bomba!
As for me.. my neck and back are hurting so much - I think it could be all manner of things - can you get sympathy back pains? lol I reckon it's a combination of the soft bed at mums, my knackered spine and neck, tiredness and stress... still... got some lumps and bumps that I'm seeing Dr about tonight too so hopefully he'll pat me on the head and send me on my way a happier bunny... (yeah, right!) lol
STILL 100% on diet - really can't believe it.. but not actually fussed about food and it saves time to not eat more anyway.. and time is something very limited right now.. spent yesterday afternoon planning the scatter rally for the forthcoming bike rally I'm involved in.. and have to go out and check it again this afternoon if time.. did it pretty quickly so am hoping it will do.
Went along some roads I've been on before and discovered some lovely little villages ... will have a better look in the future when things are calmer.
Have been VERY strict with my biking customers - I gave one secretary an 8pm deadline to get her order to me by last night as I had to prep a box for the courier to pick up today... and she emailed me at 10pm last night to say she was sorry to be so late etc etc... so I told her this morning that she was too late! Box was all sealed and ready to go before I went to bed and that was that! (Not sure she liked it much, but hey, she knows the score and I HAVE to be firm now.)
Mr Misery is really being useful - he is fetching and carrying for me, looking after the dog, ordering a tyre for Hattie (I didn't realise HOW low the rear tyre was and am not sure it was particularly safe when I came back from Cornwall!).. he has also promised to be taxi for my daughter in a couple of weeks time when she comes down for her best friend's wedding, as I shall be at mums...
I will make it up to my girls in the future.. they are so lovely though.
Right - am at work so really ought to focus ON work now... first of my "long" days to enable me to go to mums on Thursday so best crack on!
Actually can't wait for weigh-in on Thursday and hopefully see those numbers reflect the efforts made.. I have had the odd extra pack but cannot imagine that will affect things at all.
Mum had a good night last night (we text each morning) so she is in good form today which means my sis will have had a good night too, which means SHE will be in good form too! A happy household is a very good thing indeed!
