    Oh my - what a day !

    At least Dad and new GS are at the same hospital.
    Congratulations !
    I do feel a bit for DS that his big moment as a Dad is a bit over shadowed -How long do they keep Mum in after a C section nowadays ?

    In all honesty I'd have probably left the shop shut this morning as it is half day anyway dropped Mum at the hospital - shot back for the appointment then gone back to the hospital for Mum so the appointment was one less thing hanging over your to do list.

    Try to remember to eat today !!

    I postponed the social till next Wednesdsy. I have all the paperwork ready to show her. Mum was only allowed to visit between 2-4today.
    The hospital was 24 miles plus away and enroute is Mums. So doesn't really make sense to do all that mileage with a poorly car that is overheating and needs lots of water, with an 78 year old woman who is usually cared for by Dad. Although in fairness she is showing remarkable composure and tans city.
    The shop was opened as advertised so as not to loose customers. The other dressmaker was sewing, I was admin stuff really. Left her working upstairs when I went and she let herself out later.
    Dad was in a sorry state when we arrived, he was just back from an MRI scan. He is very poorly, but insists I go on my break, and relax as I deserve it. My brother and sister will come home if needed.
    My nephew is going to take over driving my Mum tomorrow.
    Dad's heart is enlarged, he has stats on his liver and a leigen? In the bowels. They will need a different scan cat scan? To re assess that part and when to operate, but they will not operate today. He needs to get the heart and lungs sorted first.
    He was unhappy at being so vulnerable, and sent us away, but that did mean my Mun and I got to quickly see the baby. They are not allowed home till tomorrow.
    Biggest if Mooloo's BF is helping organise them.
    I am now home, exhausted and wanting to eat and then relax. But I have clothes to iron, and bags to pack for DGD and me.
    Tomorrow I open the shop, have the dressmaker fir 3 hours. And then teach in the evening then I am off.
    Then staff take over so the shop will remain open.
    Phew! I'm tired.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Sorry to hear your dad is very poorly, and HTH.
    he has stats on his liver and a leigen?

    Stats - did they say metastasis? they're secondary tumours.

    Leigen - did they say leison? that's an area of abnormal tissue.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    Sorry predictor text changed some of my stuff again.
    He has cysts, on his liver. And abnormal tissue, Tumor, in the bowel.
    The cysts are fluid filled and not a major concern. The bowel stuff has gone off to the labs but it will be two weeks till they get the results.
    I'm shattered. Off to try and sleep.
    Oh and the good news ( of sorts is DGD's Mum, twin 1, is having a boy too!)

    I think somehow tomorrow is cancelled. I doubt I can go away now.
    I know Mum said I should carry on, that there is nothing I can do. But I can't see me enjoying the break anyway.
    Now DGD is awake, I must dry my eyes and out on those dam BGK's again.

    So sorry darling x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
