mum has a 'turn'

sorry to say that Mum had another of her fainting turns last evening. She had been having some toilet troubles in the day, but apart from feeling weak, nothing else was apparent, but just after she rang Cathy, I cleared away a few things and when I came back into the lounge she was standing against the radiator. I asked her if she was cold - no, but she had that strange look in her eye which told me she was going to faint I said, don't fall here, but it was too late and she sank to the floor. I made her comfortable, and considered what to do and decided to try and get her into the bathroom, where she recovered and tried to sit up straight. After cleaning her up we were able to struggle into bed on 'my' side. I made her comfortable and decided not to ask for help as she seemed to go to sleep immediately. As on previous occasions, she was ok, sleeping in bed and I left her until I felt that I could get into bed. She is bright and chirpy this morning so my decision not to call for help was justified, but I thought, oh,no, not again. But she is tough and seems ok now. Just felt that you were entitled to know, but don't worry unnecessarily.
Love from Dad
