I left my mobile at home this morning as I left with the boys, shopping for a prezzie for C as he had been top scorer, then travelling up to visit Mum 33 miles away. Whilst shopping with the boys I realised I was without my phone so detoured back via home to get it before heading north (thinking if I had a breakdown I wanted the phone!) I was to drop the boys of at my inlaws before heading to see Mum in the NH.
As I got back in the house the phone was buzzing with voice mail. It was the NH asking me to call. Mum had had a heavy duty TIA in the main lounge, was out of it, had no pulse or BP reading for 1 1/2 mins. Get there.
Drove rapidly the 30+ miles north, decanted boys at their grandparents (I did stop the car first, just....) and headed the mile to the NH.
When I got there Mum was sitting in bed smiling. She had some round a few minutes earlier! She is very wobbly, but became a little clearer as the day progressed. Even got out of bed with the help of two staff for the loo and a change.
Just back and have put the boys to bed..going to have a microwave curry, (thanks Tesco!) and pray that the phone does not ring again. DH is away so I cannot even have a big glass of wine!
The staff really thought that she was going to go this morning. That is the third time..does Mum really have the proverbial nine lives..not sure my nerves can take this!
