12.20am Saturday morning and my Friday has just finished. Everything went smoothly today...... far too smoothly!
I did manage to get my mother out for an hour but she was struggling to get back into the house. By dinner time she was not very hungry so I guessed something was wrong. She eat a little but refused a chocolate and a cup of tea. Definitely something wrong.
She was in increasing pain from her knees, and by eight o'clock, unable to move. There was little I could do except watch her fight it, adding encouragement where I could. Come 10.30 I managed to get her into one of Cag's wheelchairs and get her into the bedroom. Over the next hour and a half, I toileted her, undressed her and finally managed to get her into bed.
I am not expecting a full nights sleep. Even if she sleeps through, I know I will have to check several times during the night, just for my own piece of mind.
Good night......... and wish me luck.

Just caught up on your week.
You my friend, have one hell of a hard one it seems.
I hope you are able to get some much needed rest.
And, the mowing doesn't take 7 hours anymore (insert tongue sticking out at you here)...I have allowed much of it to become naturalized...and Mr. Son has done it the last few times...yee haw!
I hope YOU got some sleep, dear.
Sending a hug, a SUH if you have the energy!

Zzzzzzz....opps, dropped off for a few minutes!
Glad to hear Mr. Son is lending a hand, Sunny. A difficult week, but manageable.
Have just about caught up with your postings Freebird. Makes interesting reading if you read it all together. Will comment soon.
Best wishes to both.
