Hi all. I'm still following you all, but I haven't been AF since Monday, so still on 1AFD for October. Mum is really poorly now since coming out of hospital 2 weeks ago. I'm struggling to do my full time job (unable to concentrate), look after the kids, keep on top of the house and visit mum as often as I can. She's probably only got a few weeks left, and our time is filled with hospice and community nurse visits. There's nothing they can do now except make her comfortable and keep changing her medication to suit her needs. My older kids know what's going on, but I'm worried about what and when to tell my youngest who's 7. I'm going to speak to his school later so they know what's going on. Being AF is the last thing on my mind really. I'm not going completely mad on it, but an hour or 2 in the pub is helping me to keep my mind off things. I'll keep you posted, and if I do manage the odd AF day, I'll let you know.

That's totally understandable rachel, AFness is one challenge than can definitely go on the back burner for a while. Sending you :grouphug:
You're being a brilliant daughter:A, your mum must be so proud of you.

Just posting to say :grouphug: to rachel, it sounds as though you're having a rough time at the minute. Being strong for other people can be difficult when you're dealing with something like that, don't forget to look after yourself x


I'm not sure if I'll be AF tonight. I had decided I would have a couple tonight and there's wine chilling in the fridge but I would normally have had one by now and haven't so... who knows.

Sending you lots of hugs Rachel ((((( ))))) i was in a very similiar postition a year ago with my dad, you do what you need to do to get through this difficult time.

Not AF this eve, having a large glass of wine, but taking it really slow, just sitting in this eve watching tv with DH and mum, Its DH's birthday tomorrow and unbeknown to him we've got some of his family coming over tomorrow and meeting up with friends in the eve. Looking forward to spending the day with everyone, im very blessed to have a great family and friends
