Just this past week, my mother was in hospital again. Last year she had a massive scare with a blood clot in her brain. It looked like the same thing all over again last week, when we took her into A&E shaking, with a temperature through the roof, photophobic, and fading in and out of consciousness. Having to ring everyone, all the family members and close friends, at ridiculous hours, to say that mum might be gone by the morning, is such an unbelievable feeling, and so awful.

so true. I am all too familiar with this scenario. Spoke to my friend last Saturday night and by 2am the next morning she was in hospital. Thankfully she is a lot better now, but it was scary for a bit! still could be though...I am all too aware that things can go from doing well to critical in a short period of time. She may need another scan to see if they need to remove a cyst, then it gets to surgery and that is when things can be touch and go...; am hoping it won't come to that!
