So glad you had that time away though @Shaz51, it must've been nice to see some new sights and get a break for a few days. The balance will come, small adjustments each day until you've got it right How are you feeling this afternoon?

Great that you were able to have that time away @Shaz51

Trust everything is settled as it can be now that you are home again.

That's a productive day @Shaz51, with food and clothing being sorted you can focus on the work when you're ready. Sorry to hear about the pain your mum and aunty are experiencing The photos will be nice for her tomorrow, has she ever travelled up that way herself?

Hi @Shaz51

Oh dear - I remember reading last night your Mum wants to come home but can she really? I hadn't read this post about her having so much pain - this is not good and if she has another bowel obstruction she really needs to be in hospital where she can be monitored and treated

And back pain - I hope they are treating that too - if they are she is in the best place for now - I do understand though - I really detest being in hospital

It's hard though - I understand - she is an independent person and this is being taken away from her by the passage of time - I guess she feels lonely and isolated there - I would - I like to have my things around me -

And I knew Mr Shaz would get anxious - yes - it has been raining but you can't mow in the rain - I understand this too because you have told me why he gets anxious - it's tough on your too

This is your second Mum talking again - you need to factor in self-care higher on your list of priorities - more time for yourself and less tug-of-war

Dec

Take it easy - pleaseOh yes - I saw your crocodile picture - I am not fond of crocodiles - but it's an interesting photo - mmmm
