Hello all , its funny isnt it that rreading these postings, we all seem to have the up and down days , sometimes coping is not so bad and at other times, its almost unbearable . Well , yesterday , I was having the most horrible of days . The meeting to discuss Mums future is tomorrow and I am worried and then my ddear husband is getting worse too , he was at hospital yesterday and more major surgery is on the cards, he is severely disabled and cant walk very well , cant do a great deal to be honest and just sometimes, it all gets a bit much . Well, yesterday , my sister visited Mum and asked me to ring Mum on her ( my sisters ) mobile phone to have a chat (?) , see what Mum could remember , staff were happy with this and we arranged the time for the call so that my sister would take Mum out into the hospital garden in the wheel chair . It was with some trepidation that I rang as Mum often doesnt know who she is talking to and often talks pretty much rubbish . Well , yesterday , she was sounding quite good , seemed bright and cheerful , I`m not sure that she really knew who I was but at least she was ok . Just before I rang off , she said that she had a secret to tell me but I had to promise not to tell her mum and Dad ( both died 13 years ago ) then , bless her, she said that she was pregnant . Oh boy , what a riddiculous but so funny moment , sad but silly and it was so hard not to laugh , bless her . She has no idea how much that brightened my day , got to keep a sense of humour eh ? Love Kate
