If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
Come on in it is nice to sit and have a chat after all the hustle and bustle of the past few days. I can still entertain you all with tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
If we were having coffee: Where would I start. It all started off normally enough then !
We took Hubby’s Mum 95yrs old and her only remaining sister in law 91yrs out for lunch on Tuesday all was lovely both ladies fit and chatting non stop …though both getting frail.
After lunch we went back to Hubby’s mum’s house as her sister in law lives in London and we thought we would take her back after 7pm and miss the rush hour. Good job we did because at about 5.30pm Mum had a mini stroke she had a strange grin on her face and could not talk. Well with in sixty seconds I told Hubby to ring the DR luckily he realized I meant ambulance! The first response car was there in 5mins and the paramedic was excellent. Then about 15mins after she arrived Mum had a fit we had to get her on to the floor and in the recovery position.
The poor aunt was in bits I had been cuddling her but had to leave her to help the para medic with Mum. When the Ambulance did arrive it was decided to take her to a near by Acute Stroke unit, so we agreed that I would go in the Ambulance with Mum and Hubby would take his Aunt home then join us at the unit.
Mum was seen at the unit and we were all amazed that she made an a fast recovery her speech face and all her limbs back to normal within hours. Though she was and is still a little flustered and confused. They decided to send her to a hospital which is nearer to where she lives, also she was due a biopsy the next day at that hospital and because she was worrying about that she should be sent there.
At 10pm they told us they could not get transport and could we take her ourselves. Hubby’s brother was not impressed but for Mum’s sake it was best we just agree, so Hubby and I took her. When we arrived hubby went in and explained the situation while stayed with her in the car. He refused to have her sitting in the crowded waiting room. Luckily a senior nurse told him to bring her straight through.
Long story short we left at 1am she got on to a ward at 4.30 am but we had to go when we did as we were so tired and apparently she had every test known to man or woman. We were back there the next day and took her for the biopsy.
Again long story short we bought her home Friday to her house her other son is staying with her until Monday then we will have to sort something out …. by we I mean Hubby and I. The sad thing is the biopsy she had on Wednesday has confirmed her lymphoma has return …. she had Lymphoma 10yrs ago and in spite of being only given 6months to live she recovered with treatment and went on to have another 10yrs full of cruises with friends and on her own, and holidays and days out with us and friends never knowingly found sitting down.
This news has knocked her for six , obviously. She has asked for treatment as in her words she would like some more time. So we are awaiting the medics opinion so it is just fingers crossed .
We have been seeing Mum every day since she had the stroke, fit and bad news and now she is home we are making sure she is not alone. Our youngest took the Newbie round to see her yesterday afternoon and our eldest drove up from from the south coast to see her our middle son due to work has been phoning her. Her ex daughter in law and her daughter have been to see her and her so she is not alone . In fact she is coming here for a late dinner today.
If we were having coffee: I would apologize for going on do have another cuppa and something to eat!
With all the above going on blogging has been rather hit and miss and though occasionally late I have managed to keep up JusJoJan! to be found at LindaGHills blog.
Also I have to say that purely by chance HelenEspinosa‘s Song lyric Sunday is so apt for this weeks events that it made me weep. Please pop over and have a look and you will see why! look here
I must dash now loads to do. Sorry if I am not commenting as much but my like does mean a lot I promise. I shall be back to normal as and when.
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say we are all sill waiting patiently for our dear Paul Curran to rejoin us here at the coffee share but until he is well enough and up and running again we shall have to bide our time!
For now everyone Be well and happy!
