Update
Ta Dah!
I’m back briefly, mainly to give you an update of what’s going on with my Mum.
When I last wrote, I said she’d started treatment. That turned out to be a lie. The Spanish hospital was hopeless, as were my family at passing on Information. The only thing they got right was the cancer thing.
Two weeks ago my Mum cracked the sh*ts with the Spanish hospital and went back to the UK. It would seem that the language barrier was the main cause for here receiving woeful treatment. So now, she’s under an English doctor in and English hospital (oh err!)
When I spoke with her Doctor on Friday last, he informed me that she was doing well and they were hopeful that they could arrest the cancers (yes multiple, lungs, throat, pelvic bone). When I asked if my planned trip for end of June would be soon enough he said it should be ok, but thing can change.
Last night they did. She was rushed to hospital (she’d been staying with my Nan) to have an operation to open her airway, because she couldn’t breath.
So, I’m off to ole Blighty this weekend. I’ll keep you posted if you are all interested.
Apart from that, the new house is OK, I’m coping with the commute (despite a feral train trip) and Puss has settled in. Thanks for asking.

Damn, I haven't been emailing a lot lately, sorry. I tried to call you back but I can't call Oz from Africa. There simply isn't enough phone capacity for me to get through. I've tried a thousand times and all I get is Network Busy errors. This place can be fucked at times. They asked me to be the acting CEO for one of their business units. So I'm moving up in the world. How strange. Anyways, try to call me again, I'll be on the lookout for phone numbers that aren't African.
You stay strong and happy girlie and we will be thankful for any updates you can send us. For your info it is STILL raining here, wet and cold and dreary, so the weather there will make you feel right at home.
