Default 2nd dreaded phonecall......

blimey, how much bad news can you take
mum was discharged from hospital this week, managing without oxygen up to this point. as she was still quite chesty and debillitated, and because of the building work going on in her house, we decided it would be better if she went to stay with her sister down near nuneaton.
thursday morning, i got the phonecall......mum has had a major stroke and was rushed to a hospital in nuneaton.

feelings of horror at what i saw..........i almost wished she hadnt survived as i know the utter despair she would feel at having to live like this. ct confirmed it was an infarct on the left side of her brain - we are now playing a waiting game to see how much recovery she gets with her right side, if any, and more to the point if she survives
