A Small Camel Month

BUGGER. BB MANAGED TO DELETE POST

well, where do I begin.
It started off so well, playing with SB and BB, croissants and coffe for breakfast. SB a bit uncertain about stagecoach as didn’t want to leave me, but i sat in room next door then out in the sun playing with BB and she seemed to be having fun. At the dancing at the end I could see her heart wasn’t in it though. We’ll acrry on for a bit though.

Afternoon of playing in the garden, watering plants, climbing on the frame etc. We all enjoyed the sun. The reading in the conservatory – BB on lap and SB acting out the story. It was still going well. SB then decided we needed to sort out her bedroom and we went up to do it. Just as we had got to that messier than when we started moment, it all started to unravel

mum phoned in tears as Nanny [little nanny] was ill, had become stuck/immobile at home after fall and not eaten and in freezing house for 2 days, ambulance on its way. I rang, and spoke to very chippy paramedic, who obviously assumed she was unloved granny being abandoned by family, rather than much loved, visited alternate weekends by mum.aunt and intermittantly be me, phoned and written to, but not wanting to move to one of the 3 houses on offer Nanny. Went into I am consultant mode, and so promises were made of phone calls on arrival at hospital etc. I went into panic mode, but spoke to Nanny – which helped a bit [on the positive side her breast cancer not spread any further on this latest bone scan]

Got a phone call soon after from v nice A and E sister, who thought stroke and fractured neck of femur seemed both unlikely – great relief. However ? infection and v painful knee? torn ligs, awaiting doctor. Long chat with nurse, and strong painkillers, antibiotics and respect should be happenng to Nanny at the mo. Also the direct dial number to ring regarding what has happenned to her [to ring approx 1/2 hour].

Anyway, no longer going to visit friend over from the USA in London tomorrow with her 2 children, or get to spend time playing with SB. Instead 2 hour journey each way to norfolk and norwich. Stress over what to do, and what future holds. Wishing for a magic wand.

As I said, a small camel month indeed.
