Good morning everyone
No rain here..
Had a text from Dianne yesterday. Mum is on Palliative care now.. We knew it would come but sooo not ready for it. so i had a miserable day, then Bloody David got me. He phoned and asked if I would like to go and see Mum he had been there and was quite concerned. so i pulled my head in and agreed.
We went up, stole one of the gerberas he put in reception. Tania the best carer there was on another wing but we updated her.
I sat there talking to her, cooling her down with a cool wet flannel, making sure she had fluid. She had her lucid moments. asking me to take her socks off that she didnt have on. And wanted apple. I told her Id see if the kitchen had She liked that we had stolen the flower lol
It was an incase visit and Im glad we went up. Going up again today to support Dianne.
I told David he is Good at this stuff.. he doesn't like compliment's, but I told him he had to accept that one. He drives us nuts at times, but at times like this he is there 110%.
I couldn't afford to get flowers for all the gang today but have ordered the Best Sunflower for Mum. Ill pick that up and a hug or 3 when I pick it up.
Have scrapped the waffles until another day. Wouldn't be the same without Mum there and she is in bed now.
Was thinking about Napier's Art deco celebrations the other day. I've only been to Napier once and since I was driving and had no idea where I was, I didn't see any houses. I need to go back at some stage to see the homes etc. Had planned to ask David about it. His Mum and sister both live there.
Dianne has a BBQ planned for tomorrow. Time will tell if it still goes ahead. I have absolutely no idea what to take. I do have the bottle of Sparking grape juice that came home in my handbag from the home Christmas party lol.
Have a good day everyone
