Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts.
It has been a roller coaster ride since Saturday!
She had a bit of a fall on Saturday after doing too much, it just shook her up but she wasnt hurt. Sunday she had a good day as per my earlier message, but yester day she had a fantastic day and once again did too much walking about ( too much smoking ) and her blood pressure went very low, and she had another nasty fall, she banged her head and twisted her ankle. When I arrived she broke down in tears, it is the first time she has cried, it really upset me.
I have rung this morning and she was up in the night, but she has no pain but has been sick. The have taken her off the morphine driver and have put her back on tablets, so that may be what is making her sick. She hadnt got up when I called and was still sleeping. I feel so helpless, as I have to go to work each day and can only see her in the evenings. It is so hard.
Please continue to pray for her
Many thanks
Ann

Hello Ann,

it must be such a difficult time for you and I know what you mean about feeling helpless.

I'm sure your mum is taking 1 day at a time and has obviously been so brave and positive, but it's terrible seeing someone you love so much going through this.

Continued prayers and thoughts for your mum and for you.

Love from

Bless her, hope she loses the nausea soon, and doesn't have any more falls, to shake herself up or hurt herself. She sounds so determined to behave as usual and probably pushes herself too hard sometimes.
You are doing what you can Ann, don't beat yourself up about it. Your Mum wouldn't want you to be feeling bad - you can't half yourself.

Take care, and special thoughts to your Mum,

Lizx

They think mums falls could be because she has had a stroke so they are checking that out, her speech is slurred and she is now dragging her leg.
Bless her has she not got enough to cope with.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Thinking of you all.

Ann, that's awful, how much more does she have to cope with? Push for lots of therapy if it was a stroke to get her as mobile as possible again.
My Mum had a stroke when she was in hospital getting over a heart attack, but she regained the feeling on the side affected, and her speech came back ok after a little while. I kept her laughing when she would start a sentence and get stuck part way for the word, she would repeat the sentence till she got it all out, but I would tell her her needle was stuck lol it made her laugh!

Hope your Mum feels better again soon, so she can do what she feels like doing. Don't suppose the smoking is helping but I expect she needs the support of it so won't want to give up - maybe she could cut back a little.

Wish her all the best from me,
Lizx

To your Mum, wishing you peace and ease.

Never done this before but having gone through what you are suffering, three years ago with my wife and this year with my daughter I know how hard it can be, but can I add to all what previous people have said and tell you to turn to your father eventually you will need each other like never before.Keep your chin up in front of your Mum its all you can do.
Bless you all Brian P
