Janice was leaving to go to Barefoot Festival. She departed and I eagerly waited my family's arrival. Janice left the door unlocked, so the nurse could let herself in incase I was asleep. As usual my sista was late and when they did arrive, I was dozing. Nephew No 4 arrived aswell, and the bus driver (my sister's fiance!). I got up when they arrived. I was conscious of Mitchell not being frightened by what he saw !!! But I think he felt so car sick he wasn't disturbed by what he saw. I remember when mom had her hysterectomy and I went to visit her as a woman in my 20/30s. It really upset me to see after her operation because I'd never seen her like that so I wanted to try to ease any concerns.
The first bunch of flowers arrived with the family, along with food that filled up the fridge and frozen home cooked meals from sista including cola chicken. No one wanted tea, they just wanted to get back as was quite in afternoon and lets face it, I wasn't going to be up for sitting chatting for hours.
Sista, Nephew No 4 and bus driver all left and me and mommy were alone. I felt like a little girl being looked after. I returned to bed shortly after to sleep some more and the sleeping went on like this for the whole time mom was here.
I did get up, have a wash and we did walk around the block but it was hard work. One day I even went to the shop walking down to get the bus, the bus didn't stop so we carried on walking. This wasn't my best idea and I thought I was going to collapse in the co-op. We made it home just about. Really, I could've rung a friend and asked them to take mom down the shop, but I don't like asking for help. As the weeks have gone on though, I have had to ask for help especially now i'm on my own again.
