After my last post in August mums health deteriorated so much that she needed more and more looking after. During that time dad decided that he didn't want to live without her and tried to commit suicide.
Luckily we managed to get the police in time to help us break into the garage and save him. Months in hospital before he was able to come home.
In the mean time mum moved in with me and Michael. During this time is still worked full time. Luckily during the week we were able to get help with both mums bathing and her medical needs with wonder full nursers coming every day to dress her wounds and give injections. I had to learn to do this as they do not attend on long weekends.
The bathing is only done during the week so the weekends were up to me. I learnt a lot about my self during this time. I found my self doing all the things that were once unthinkable (in fact I used to tell every one that no way could I bath any one or wipe their bottom) but once there is no other option it is amazing what you can do.
Mum has passed away now and I find myself at a loss. So maybe it's time to blog again if nothing else it lets me get my feelings out. Somehow it helps that none of you know me but at the same time it feels like
I am talking to friends. CANCER IS A TERRIBLE SCOURGE ON OUR SOCIETY.
To much has happened for me to write about in one post but as time goes one I hope to share more with you including information on genital cancer which I didn't even know existed 2 years ago.
LOVE AND MISS YOU MUM
