Caring for mum.

Well, 5 years ago today, i came home at 6.30pm to find mum unconscious at the bottom of the stairs. She was cold and well out of it and spent over 2 months in hospital with a brain haemorrhage. Dont know whether it caused or was caused by the fall. She is a tough old bird though, refused any follow up consultation with anyone at the hospital after her 'recovery' and is still there and aware although the both of us have gone through some rough times together. She developed T2 whilst in hospital, me nearly 5 years later. That day, i came home from work a couple of hours early, dont know why, something just made me. Seems like yesterday.

Thank you for all your kind comments.
I have experienced this 'deja vu' quite often. Many times i have returned home early to find my dogs on the point of escaping, did this the other day, or i have gone to a spot where i hoped they would be and found them and also have come home and stopped a minor matter becoming a major one with mum when normally i wouldnt be at home. I do think there is something in it.
Anyway, alls well at the moment except problems with one of my old Citroens playing up. She is at a garage having major heart surgery and keeps springing water leaks, just dosnt want to come home[lol]. Its the cars and the moths which keep me sane.

**** lucky you did come home early. No ifs, or buts, that saved her life.

Actually bud,

i think you are right there. Ambulance guys said that she was so cold she wouldnt have lasted much longer but maybe this helped re her recovery.
Anyway, its been hard this last 5 years but still coping.
