Sorry to ask - but what did you mean about this being the last time you will see your Mum?

[hippyhoppy]

she's in hospital.. taken a turn for the worst and the doctors have given her days.. I'm 4 hours away.. (or six if you count the idiot on the M40 last week crashing his car.. how inconsiderate!).. Anyhoo..off down south tomorrow.. I expect to be a half orpan by next weekend.. how sad..

[MOUCHA]

Sorry to read that hippyhoppy. Mind how you drive and have a safe journey. How far down south?

best of luck with the traffic, hope you get there in time. Sometimes these parents are better fighters than we think x

[sara3]

[hippyhoppy]

Well - I live in Derby (unforunately!) and Mum is in Horsham, west sussex.. Going via Cheltenham to collect middle sis so probably 5 hours on the motorways on a Friday night.. Sounds like Fun!

Stop thinking so negatively, doctors are not God. Miracles do happen...

[Rosetta]

Society - it's a bit more complicated.. she's had cancer for EVER.. but hasn't been able to have treatment whilst is hospital because of her calcium levels in her blood (not sure I even know what that means!!).. so it's taken a firm grip and isn't letting go..

[sherrardk]

Very sorry to hear your sad news. My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer three weeks ago but has gone down hill very fast. She has been unable to eat or sleep and is obviously in great discomfort. Drive carefully, xxx

[hippyhoppy]

She's 75.. the thing is doddery old dad (89) appears to have turned into Benjamin Button (to Quote Big Sis) and is remembering names and making cups of tea like Billio!!
