I am at the wiped out/espresso stage βοΈ π running around gathering documents, sending multiple emails, helping Mum with her last minute shopping and suitcase.
Yes Thursday canβt come soon enough and I can have a comfy nap π΄while the nurse takes over Mum!
Things have been better once she agreed to go..she became more positive..although she said she had chest pains which worried me! I had to up my pred yesterday as the stress probably affected my cortisol levels, I felt dizzy, that worked.
Anyway we met the nurse last night and we are leaving by 9 am.
Probably something that should have happened ages ago my happy friend,but Mums sense of independence and stubbornness delayed the inevitable.still means extra work and responsibility for you but hopefully the reduced travelling will make life a lot easier for you,about time you got that rest you deserve.
Love Ski's and Scruff's who says "that's definitely not Tuna" xx
Oh itβs not for good, she tells me she is determined to be back home in 3 weeks! Iβll let the doctor deal with that one! π
I donβt think she quite realises how low she got, which is a good thing. Theyβll get some good Swiss food down her, she barely eats.
Then it will take at least three weeks to have shoes measured and fitted once her foot has healed.
And I need time to recover before the journey back! I have to go to Lyons for my biannual LAM checkup on the 7th and I am now planning her 91st surprise birthday on the 9th, her Paris 93 year old sister and daughter will be coming. My aunt just asked me to organise that yesterday so it will also be a time to rejoiceπ₯
Psg-Naples tonight, will have to listen on the radio π»
Very glad your mumβs going with you. Will she live in your apartment or have her own accommodation? (Apologies if thatβs none of my business) I hope the journey goes ok anyway and you get a good rest when eventually you get back.
Thanks for another great photo of Aria. I canβt tell if thatβs a real fish but Iβm guessing probably not!! If it is, sheβs very restrained!
Wanting to go home and sleep, is just getting tired, not getting too old. It will be a great relief for you knowing that your mother will be closer by, better than having to do international travel all the time, which is always exhausting.
I like that kind down to earth comment, makes me feel better 2greys π
Hard to push yourself beyond your strength, shoulder on the feelings of others but it is part and parcel of life. Well I doubt Mum will be convinced to stay, hope the doctor is more convincing than I π she is already counting the days!!
Hola Amiga, After all the globetrotting and worrying about your Mum, your bound to be feeling Tired and Exhausted, Last leg of the Journey on Thursday, get Mum home rested and then you can relax back into your own routine even though it be medical and as you are a Positive Girl, Yes , I said Chica, estar es Joven. You will be rested then my Dear Fran. Abrazos suave, besitos. Cuddles with the Beautiful Aria & Bea as soon as you can. xxxxx
Estoy Bien Gracias Fran. Pasar buen Viaje Hoy, Y Tranquilo Carino con tu Mama. Buen Suenos mas tarde en tu Cama. Have a Good Peaceful Journey Today Fran, Relax & rest when you arrive with your Mum, Hope she is a lot Better and her Toe is less painful. Love & Hugs to you Both. Besos. xxxxxxx
Yes, I bet youβre tired, my friend. πΉBut this plan sounds a sensible solution, and less exhausting in the long run....hopefully..... than sorting things from afar, dashing to the South of France increasingly often and then rushing back to run your own life.
I hope your Mumβs relocation goes well and you are both soon happily settled back in Switzerland.
Bon voyage, take care, and I hope the medical assist arrangements go to plan. π€ Lots of love xx Penny xx
Just read in one of your replies that this may be a temporary arrangement, Fran. Not so good then. If your Mum enjoys her Welcome to Switzerland birthday party enough, might she stay?? π₯πΎπ°π«πππ
Take care, my friend π, youβve got such a lot going on. I know youβre mentally very strong though, Fran, so hang in there ππ»ββοΈπ€ΊππΉπ§π»ββοΈπ€ΉββοΈ Lots of love xx Penny xx
Makes me feel tired just reading about all your comings and goings. You are a hero, but perhaps it takes your mind off yourself for a while? Sounds like you have inherited some good genes, your aunt is a good age. Best wishes Iris x
I think I will tuck myself in bed and sleep for 24h when I get there!!ππ
No, it doesnβt take my mind off myself at all, I have felt worse, trying to fit in nebs, respiratory physiotherapy, while Iβm running around looking for warm men socks I can cut, shoes that donβt fit in the end, filling in prescriptions, finding eatable food and drink for the journey, packing her things etc..
The nurse arrived last night and took over, it was magic!!
I will be able to enjoy my Sunday poems again π
Good Luck for the journey ahead. Good that you will get some rest while the nurse takes over. I am not surprised that you are worn out with all airbrushing around. Xx
Yes, thanks Fran. I did put a note on my virus thread saying it had gone and I was better. Very thankful and think I have to credit the 3 x week azithromycin. You both take care x
Good luck with everything Fran. Been very difficult and stressful for you lately, both with your own and your mum's health problems. Hope you're home soon and able to relax more (last lap thank goodness). Hugs and best wishes xx
Hi Fran, you have done so well looking after your Mum, shows what a good daughter you are, once home you need to rest up as much as you can to re-charge those batteries. You dont realise just how stressful life is just organising everything for a 90 year old, and of course the worry. Im sure once home everything will be much better and you an relax a little. Aria looks so relaxed and being a cat, doesnt have a worry in the world ha!
Well my friend safe journey, let us know how Mum settles in Switzerland. Irene x
Yes I hope so but I have all those medical appointments to attend again, things I have put aside which need to be done, well one day at a time as they say!!
Calling every good wish π
Aria is waiting to come back home, travelling around Italy with Bea is not her thing!! I talk to her on the phone and tell her we can have breakfast together when she comes home, yes she will be allowed to do floppsies on the table as long as she doesnβt dip her tail in my coffee so she purrs..
