I am having a reeeeeeeeally crap week and all I want to do is curl up in a ball 
To cut a long story short (i did type the long version, but then my laptop decided it was going to restart itself randomly when I was almost finished!!!!!!!!)
Sunday night, got home to find that my dad was showing signs of a mini stroke. Lack of use of right side, and slightly slurred speech but no face drooping. Mum decided he might not actually be ill and just not coping with things (he sort of goes in to shut down mode when stressed and has been ill with other things lately, plus he lost his dad a few months back)
On Monday, my mum had an appointment to see the breast specialist because she had suspected breast cancer...thankfully she got the all clear but I spent all day at work worrying myself silly over that AND dad still not being well. Then mum decided at 5.30 that dad still wasnt well and we should take him to the hospital.
Spent 6 hours in A & E with him being majorly depressed incase hes "like this forever" and that he'll "never get better" and "cant cope with this"
Got about an hours sleep monday night due to the hospital, trying to force my mum to eat, then my ligaments were REALLY painful, then needing to pee, then getting cramp in my foot!!!
Then spent Tuesday worrying myself silly whilst trying to do an auction (admin side) and answering 99% of all the calls in the office even though I wasnt the only one able to pick the damn phone up.
Ended up picking up a very depressed dad and then dashing to see mum at work to pick up money for a take away and then shot over to get a take away, all on tuesday evening (after no scans being done at the hospital) and looking after him while mum was at work.
All in the meantime, I feel like someone has punched my lady bits and back repeatedly!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the moan girls...just really feeling it tonight!
Oh, and I get to run TWO departments on my own tomorrow!
Lucky me!
