Im so tired today I can hardly type. We had a 5 hour mother visit on Sunday which went suprisingly well..she reacts a lot better to my older son also present than she does to me, and she behaved herself!
Never theless it was draining, and I looked for ward to a restful monday..I went gleefully shopping in the morning and came back at about 3pm. At 4pm the home rang, she had a fall, went charging down there to find her being carted off in an ambulance to a hospital miles away, (A and e closed at the local one!)
I follow in the car, terrible traffic and Im worried the whole time that I see the sirens go on , but we all arrive safely.
I then pay £6 to park under threat of wheel clamping, and find mum has managed to give her details except she gave then and address and phone she had 10 years ago!! fancy her recalling those.
We then have a 5 hour wait there. Mum of course keeps needing the toilet, another drama, and a drunk is brought into the next cubicle who keeps lookin into hers and abusing her..(my son has to be stopped from punching him)
finally home she goes, by taxi, the hospital doesnt run to return transport it seems, her face like she has dont ten rounds with frank bruno and arm strapped up, she has broken it and has to go back to fracture clinic.
Finally home again at ten to find younger son been beaten up for mobile fone by gang of youths.
Call police who say sorry, we have nobody to send, go and report it tomorrow.
Next time I receive my tax bill I think I will be saying I have no money to send the government, I thought I paid it for services like ambulance and police but it seems not.
Very bad headache and tired out this morning!
