Can't believe that it's February already. I was hoping 2021 was going to be better, but it's off to a horrible, bumpy start.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers for Mum. She did come home from the hospital on Friday but she's not doing so good. She can't get around much and is struggling to eat and drink. My sister has been staying with her and I am so thankful for that but it is really trying on her. On Sunday she was so worried she called the out-of-hours service and a doctor came to check mum out. They said she is suffering from Long Covid. I think that is where the symptoms linger and can cause additional problems. He did give her medication to help with a couple of issues. I won't go into all her medical details, but please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She is struggling. She's fighting but it's taking a lot out of her. I did manage to talk to her once, but she had trouble talking though once or twice her sense of humour popped through. I wish I could get on a plane and go to her side, not just to help her but help my sister too. I hate this. I hate Covid. I get so angry when I see people denying it exists or go on about how it's not serious. Ag. Deep breath. I can't control that. I just want to be able to chat with Mum again or see her smile. How things can change within just a couple of weeks!
Photo today - when my friend and I were out walking the other day we say a really dedicated photographer. It was probably about -5c/22F early in the morning and he was huddled just inside this blanket, on the ground, in the snow waiting to get a photograph of the beaver!
I am so sorry to hear about you mum, this pandemic is taking a beastly toll. Your photography always brings cheer.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mum can get hold of a pulse oximetry to keep a check on her oxygen levels, with her being so breathless. They aren’t usually too expensive and help to keep an eye on things.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your Mum is home but not good about the ongoing symptoms.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem crazy that some people are still denying that there is a virus.
A dedicated photographer or completely mad!!
Your mum is in my thoughts and prayers right now. I do hope it isn't long before she is feeling stronger and you can have a good long chat with her. Look after yourself though as it's easy to slide into a dark grey place without realising it.
ReplyDeleteThat is one dedicated photographer. So sorry to hear about your Mum she remains in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you can't go visit your mum and help your sister. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteThat is dedication to an opportunity for another cute beaver shot.
I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum is struggling with the longer term effects of Covid and you can't be there to help. I will definitely keep her in my prayers and, you, too, Sharon. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI'm also really sorry to hear your Mum is struggling. There's little I can do except send you and her love and prayers. xxxx
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family. So hard to be away! I know! Take care. XXXXX
