Hmm, so Friday I took Mum up to Gloucester for an appointment with the consultant.
This was a follow up from her stay in hospital in July. At the time they found she had an aneurysm in her stomach and the consultant has told her she needs surgery to sort it. There’s not really an option as without the surgery it would almost certainly prove fatal within a couple of years tops. The problem is, she’s still not in the best of health since her previous hospital visit and this last couple of weeks in particular have been quite difficult as she’s not been feeling well so the thought of a pretty serious operation in the near future isn’t helping matters much.
Still, there’s nothing much we can do other than wait it out and hopefully keep her spirits up until she has the op (should be some time in December) but suffice to say it’s all a bit distracting at the mo so apologies in advance if I’m a bit out of the loop..

Got up about 8, fed the cat and had some brekkie myself.
Sat down to crack on with all the stuff I needed to do today (first day back teaching after 2 weeks off) and felt decidedly odd. The snot-filled head last night was probably the first clue, but suffice to say I went back to bed for a bit and actually woke up again properly about 12:30, still feeling knackered. Arse.
When I woke up though it was nice to discover the cat had managed to ninja her way in for a cuddle and was fast asleep in my arm. Bless her 
Sorry for the crap pic but it was a job to reach the iPhone without waking her up!
It’s nearly 3:30 now and I still feel woolly as fuck. Arse. Not exactly how I’d planned to spend my day!
Anyone got any miracle drugs to wake me up a bit? I really can’t be doing with feeling like this, got too much to do…
