Wednesday

Apologies for the radio silence over the past few daysLife intervenedAnd I just didn't get a chance to writeAlso I didn't really want to writeI wrote a post on MondayAnd promptly deleted itIf you did read it You will know that my Mum was diagnosed with osteoporosis this weekIn her spine and hips I deleted the post as I felt I needed to process the information before writing about itThis news has come as a bit of a shockMy Mum had a bone scan done a few weeks ago And on Monday she got the resultsI went to speak to herAnd she looked really shookI asked what was wrong She said nothing But I knew there was something Eventually She told me that she had received some bad newsThat she had just got off the phone from her doctor And she informed Mum that she has osteoporosis It was a real shockAnd I could see from Mum that she had not expected it either We sat in silence for a while Neither of us sure what to say or do I asked about treatment And Mum had been told she could get an injection twice a year that would help manage itAlso diet and exercise The doctor recommended that Mum join a gym And practice weight bearing exercises So at least there are things she can do to help herself All is not lost
So yea I haven't much felt like writing the last few daysDon't worry though I'm not going anywhere Sometimes it's good to take a breakTake a step back and look at things from a distance I know I don't need to tell you how much much my Mum means to meShe is my life The one who never gave up on meOnly for her I have no doubt I wouldn't be hereBut this is life We live We grow up Grow old Get illTime waits for no manOr woman
Again I'm sorry that I left you hanging It's just a difficult it time at the moment I'm sure you understand
