Mother's Day USA

decided not to go see my ma and pa today, as we are seeing them next weekend

went to buy a durty white (loaf of bread) instead.

when dad called, to say mum had collapsed in church again and they were waiting for an ambulance at home

by the time i got to sussex the ambulance had relocated them to the hospital in Haywards Heath

they were dutifully waiting in the waiting room where they'd been put

but the ambulance crew hadn't booked them in

so they'd been waiting for 1.5hrs without anyone knowing they were there

somehow i scooby sensed this

as soon as i booked mum in, she was swiftly seen and the wonderful NHS staff kicked into gear doing tests

i'd rather NOT be taking pictures of my beloveds in hospital

but taking pictures of EVERYTHING is part of the (my) process

(my mum would rather i didnt take pictures of her in hospital too)

she was seen very quickly but we had to wait several hours for the blood tests to come back because they were so under-staffed (and over-worked)

mum had stop shaking by this point

don't mistake my mum's expression for slightly amused: it's more 'resigned to being photographed by her son when not feeling her most glamorous'

(cool room set tho)

we love the NHS

but hate being in hospitals: especially with poorly loved ones

was nice to spend time with ma and pa, despite the occasion not being nice

waiting patiently with a patient, for an impatient person like me is a physcology field trip

the asshole giving the doctors and nurses grief for being there 2hrs and not being seen (and requesting drugs to help him deal with the stress of waiting) FAILED his physcology field trip.

mum's bloods normal

blood pressure normal

clear to go home again 6ish hours later

still no clue what's going on and causing mum to collapse every now and then (often at church and she refuses to believe she is allergic to church)

squeezed ma nad pa into lucy's mini and took them home before heading home myself

stopped to photograph a dead badger and to trouble myself with the VERY loud low flying planes landing in Gatwick, flying RIGHT over an ancient woodland, we are very partial to
