Up Before The Sparrows....updated

.........Looking for the right blouse, mum's sure it's beige with sparkles.

Late last night saw Mr H and myself leaning over her bed listening to slurred speech. I'd needed assistance in carrying her back to bed, so I called for Mr H, I couldn't lift her put of the bathroom, she was out of it, so to speak. Mr H was thinking what I was thinking, a minor stroke. Dropped mouth, incoherence, limp as the rag doll. We said nothing of course preferring to plump her cushions.
Yet within a few minutes she was asking for red squash.

And so...as I laid in bed I was more than pleased that I'd had a good day, doing not much really, a bit of cooking, entertaining, doing what I do best. Those hours where I'm enclosed in the kitchen are the best:)

We have two medical sorts coming today, hopefully this morning because I want to have a couple of hours in Sainsbury's this p.m.
Oh my golly gosh how I love freezing my tootoos orf by the frozen lamb shanks.
Still joking......
Yes I'm obviously doing ok this morning.................:)

Being cooked today? Not a clue!

The district nurse said mum probably suffered a minor stroke last night and that if it happens again we're to call for an ambulance.
She's already taking Warfarin to thin her blood and that might raise the risk of having a stroke. Well I'll be blowed...If the poor little bean hasn't enough to deal with...
Anyway Nursie got on the phone to mum's GP so I'm now expecting another raft of letters and phone calls...
Poor old mum.......... she's an incredible woman whose never-give-up attitude is humbling. She doesn't know what happened last night, we decided it'd serve no purpose to tell her, if and when the occasion arises where she needs to know stuff we'll be as gentle with her as we've been before.

Get this.....She wanted to come to Sainsburys with me this afternoon....And THAT'S what makes her so special. A myriad of ailments, in almost constant discomfort and the feisty girl wants to do the weekly shopathon.
We had a great time!

Cookng tonight:
Fisherman's Pie made with smoked Haddock and canned tuna and for pudding.....probably a lemon puddle:)

I'm loving the Olympics, it's been a real gin and tonic pour moi.
