Should have seen that coming.
Was out walking my dog when I got a text from my mum saying she was going to hospital (again) with the same pain she's had for the last 30 fricking years so I had to divert off and go round to bring her dog back to here. Feck knows how long she'll be in this time - she'll be having scans and X-rays and…..they’ll send her home with some paracetamol. Rinse, repeat. No matter how many times I tell them the problem is in her head, because I’m not a doctor. No wonder the health service is in a state catering for bed-blockers like my mum. It’s a constant cause of argument between us.
You're lucky you only have one to deal with. Me and my brother have to cope with a pair of them. 87 year old mother who isn't too bad, and 90 year old argumentative tosser father who lies in bed all day blaming everyone else. I blame the NHS for keeping this one hanging on too long, pumped up with Statins, Metformin, etc, etc. All the sudden you realise the roles have reversed and you now have the part of responsible adult.
There's always someone worse off.
I also have a MIL with the onset of dementia and that keeps Mrs Mottie and her sister on their toes. They both have to go to her twice a week each to cook her meals etc. On the days they are not there they have to phone her up and talk her through cooking a ready meal - she has lost the ability to comprehend heating instructions and how to use a cooker. Luckily no personal care is needed at the moment. It’s only been for about the last three months but it’s starting to wear them both down. What with caring for her mother and looking after our grandson occasionally, she says she is the 'sandwich' generation!You're lucky you only have one to deal with.

Spent the morning sourcing tiles for a project and wondering what to do without football on telly; tried noodling on a garden design in the afternoon but couldn't find any enthusiasm so decided to read 'til teatime...then looked out the kitchen window as night fell to see the most beautiful full moon putting on a display among broken cloud. A bright light hung around just below it in the east and wondered if i should follow it...then decided i wasn't a wise man to go traipsing about on a cold night in the fields and took Herself to the top of the garden to stand under the old apple tree to enjoy the moment. If you look out your window at the night sky you should be able to see Mars shining brightly; and Jupiter, if you're lucky.
I wish my camera could do it justice but in low light the resolution is rubbish.

Got Saturn and Jupiter, but someone seems to have nicked the moon. Can't anything unattended these days
I have an app. I can see Uranus. <titter>
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
You home yet or spending another night in one of Essex's finest hotels?

Tried on my one piece thermal undie set, very snug & warm.
Had to get out of bed in the night to pluck one single annoying hair from my nostril that was tickling me and keeping me awake. Went up and had my AAA screening this afternoon - all fine and don’t need to have it done again. It was something like what pregnant women have when they have a baby scan. I made the nurse laugh by telling her that I didn’t want to know the sex. Mrs Mottie called me a tit and said she must hear that every day - I thought it was funny anyway. Just dropped Mrs Mottie and 3 of her mates up the station as they have all gone up London to see 'Six'. I’ve got to pick the rowdy group up again later tonight at whatever time they see fit to come back after going on the lash afterwards. Might be a late one.

Had a nice trip out in the sunny Surrey countryside to an auction. Picked up some nice silver coins.

Got home last night. It was horrible.
Not for one second have I thought my Cancer would kill me. It never entered my head.
This had me thinking.
I my temp was about 39 c the whole time it nearly Tipped 40 a Coa few times. I couldn't eat or sleap. My room had no heating control. It must have been mid 20's
.Open the window then was freezing. They put on IV
paracetamol that made me sweat like I was in a desert. I then just lay there in wet pyjamas and a soggy bed.
It was horrible.
Welcome home mate!
