Amazing how we find ourselves in November – the month of fireworks – already, and it's time to do a round-up to thank friends who have commented on my blog this last month.
October has been a BAD month for me in many ways.
Most importantly both my parents have been in hospital. In fact my Mum is still there and has been hospitalized for almost a month except for a couple of days when she was released – probably too soon, as she had to go back again within just a few days. Despite the scare stories you may read in the newspapers, Mum has had excellent care (thanks to the wonderful staff at Bridlington Hospital) and I have reason to be very grateful for our British NHS.
They're such a devoted couple, in their 90s, that being parted from my Mum has sent my Dad into a deep depression and I've spent quite a lot of time in the North of England at their house doing what I could for them. This hasn't seemed to achieve much as my Mum is still in hospital and my Dad is still depressed 🙁
One dreadful day in particular poor Mum wasn't expected to survive the night and as many of the family as possible drove North to see her – only to find her sitting up smiling brightly and asking for a sherry to go with the trifle she was enjoying! Needless to say my son Matt was dispatched to bring her a glass of sherry and the nurses turned a blind eye. She's a fighter, that's for sure.
The Future?
In desperation we have now set up a live-in care package for them as unfortunately it's not practical for me or my sister to be away from our businesses long-term. Live-in care is not ideal, and takes a little getting used to, but the five hour trip each way is tough to do by myself, and it's better than my Dad being alone until Mum comes home.
It's just been a roller-coaster of a month, so business has taken a back-seat for October, and probably will do for the rest of the year too.
Many thanks to all the lovely people below who made comments on my posts.
