A troubled night and more cards

[wiseheart]

Let's start with the cards, that's the nicer topic. Here are cards #9-11:



Unfortunately, the colours didn't come through true. The one star on the left is actually blue and the one on the right is purple. Dratted photos always twist the colours.

Also, Mum had a bad night. She must have eaten something that didn't agree with her - presumably the pretzels I bought for breakfast were too hard - and woke up at half past four feeling hot and cold, shivering, terribly weak and all that. Fortunately, her coughing woke me, so one Aspirin+C Brausetablette took care of most symptoms, but by the time we got there it was 6am already. Later on, she still had a light stomach ache, so I gave her the usual thing that helps digestion, and now she's right as rain again, but we are both dead on our feet. Even though we both slept for over an hour in the afternoon. *sigh*

I originally planned to write a rant about one particular event at the Olympics but my brain is too tired, and I don't feel up to consulting the online dictionary for the right terms at the moment. Perhaps another time.

I'd have had a breakdown, if my mother would have showed such symptoms!

This happens sometimes when she eats something that is too heavy for her stomach, but knowing it doesn't mind that I wouldn't freak out every time when she starts wheezing and shaking.

I'm happy to hear your mum is already feeling better.

Unfortunately, this is a recurring thing; and we can't always know what kind of food will send her digestion into such state. But at least it is over quickly enough, and we know what to take for it. Still frightening while it's happening, though.

Poor mum and poor you. That sounds like an awful night. I hope you both get a better one tonight.

It was better, thank you. :)

I'm glad Mum is feeling better. Those symptoms can be many things, but you know her ups and downs so well, it's a relief it was a digestive issue. Hopefully you and Mum will have a good night sleep tonight.

I love the cards

It is usually a digestive issue. She no longer has a gall bladder, so these things happen; not having any teeth (well, only three wacky ones) to chew properly doesn't help, either. She was considering getting artificial teeth, but then came Covid and then her accident, and now our dentist is beyond her reach. I'm also not sure she'd want to bother with the issue anymore.

Sorry about your Mum. I hope you both are able to catch up on your sleep.
