I managed until 2:30am this morning, tried to go back to sleep but now it's almost 4am so giving up. Too much on my mind. My father-in-law finally passed away on Tuesday evening so I've been trying to help but stay in the background a bit. My husband ended up in an ambulance yesterday in pain with what they think may have been a kidney stone - time will tell. My youngest (almost 12) proudly announces yesterday that she has made it into an event for the primary school State swimming championships (and she doesn't do squads like most of the others); she's so excited and remembers to bring me the permission slip just before bed. Yep! sod's bloody law...it's on the same time and across town, as my next chemo treatment. And because it's State's and only a couple of kids from her school go, there's no teacher or transport organised. I feel my positivity gained on Saturday, slipping away.
