Introduction

Good Evening to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, as always do so hope that you are all keeping both safe and well!!

As always my grateful thanks for your messages of support with Yvonne's illness..

The title could have been one of several, but decided, that the one that I have chosen would at least have a little intrigue attached to it.

The Last Few Days

It will not surprise you to know that most of the week has been tending to Yvonne, however on Monday I had a call from the hospice asking if I wanted a couple of hours off on the Tuesday, the answer was a massive yes, so I was able to spend a couple of hours around Town, doing jobs that I cannot normally get done.

Yvonne has both good and bad days, some days she will sleep for most of the day, not eating or drinking, another day she is just her old self, so very confusing and also hard to take some days.

When I went out on Thursday Evening, in my best suit, she remarked that I needed a haircut, which drew laughter from all present.

When she was being tended by the carers one day they remarked that a scab had come off one of her tumors. When I had a look decided that it needed a Nurse, when thy came they said that nothing could be done, but I felt better for the expert advice.

This morning the carers said that a tumor had started to bleed, so Dr. Stuart was called. I did manage to stop it, using iced saline and guaze, when I removed the guaze, along with the blood a lot of rubbish came from the tumor as well.

As an aside for those of you are not aware, you can stop bleeding with iced saline (salt water will do), the cold contracts the blood vessals.

The silly boy refers to Thursday Evening, as I stepped out of the front door, I fell on my face, realised that nothing was broken, but I could not get up, so shouted for help, eventually a young girl came to help me, eventually I was able to stand, was just a little shaken.

The Nurse came on Friday to see Yvonne, I was heartened to hear her say that I was worn out and very tired, that I was to sit in my chair whenever I could and rest.

Since that day my body has begun to ache, but no bones broken.

This morning I heard Yvonne moaning so went downstairs to see what the problem was, she needed the hot water bottle filling up, this I did at 0430!!

This of course has resulted in the day being a little anyhow. The result being that when my Son came this afternoon, he said the wrong thing about how I was looking after his Mum, I did not just snap, but threw a real wobbly. I had just had enough of everything and everybody, as a result they walked out, the carers were here, I did apologise to them tonight, their reply tonight surprised me, that they were not surprised that I had finally snapped.

Pleased to say that I have now calmed down.

Still manage to have a look at some busimess ideas, this does do me good.
