Lemon's Mum

[lemonzest123]

Hi MNers,

Thanks for tipping me off about the message limit on my other thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2725008-Would-any-MNers-be-able-to-help-tonight?pg=1&order=

I am stunned and unbelievably humbled to see that one little post I wrote sparked 1000 messages, and Im so appreciative of all you personal stories and jokes to cheer me up.

MN is offically amazing and you're all fantastic.

DM had a rough night, she apparently woke in the night with a bad headache which I think confirmed the disease has moved into her head (we expected this, apparently what's causing the paralysis often appears in the brain too). Still no appetite and sleeping all the time.

Hope everyone had a good night. I had yet more nightmares - theyre all about Mum and they all horrible. Shouty I is in fine voice this morning. Dad said he heard Shouty I bellowing to Shouty II to shut up the other day. Pot, meet kettle

Offering you a hand to hold Lemon.

And a big hug. Hold her hand.

Hi lemon we're all still here for you and not going anywhere. Just talk to your mum and rest when you can.

Another hand here too Lemon. 🌻

Still thinking about you.

Thinking of you both Lemon
Hold tight.

Oh Lemon, your update brought a tear to my eye.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, but you're not alone. We are all here for you and I promise on your wedding day, if you wanted to then all sorts of mothery types would cluck around you and rub a spitty hanky on your face as needed

Thinking of you this evening

Another hand here for you Lemon, we'll have to take it in turns to hold yours! Start drawing up a rota, that should send you to sleep for a bit. I'm going to try and sleep for a couple of hours in a bit. Will very more than likely be available for more hand holding in a few hours. Hoping you both have a peaceful night.

I have placed odd foam oblong on top of jelly mattress... By means of some magic synergy am oddly comfy. DF sent uncharacteristically lovely text to me and DBro saying he's proud of us. Ahhh nice

Hi again Lemon just got a picture in my head of all these motherly types in fascinators & big hats fussing over you! Thinking of you and holding your hand. Have a peaceful night.

Hope you stay comfy lemon. Thinking of you and your mum.

Oh Lemon sweetheart I wanted to respond to your heartfelt post last night but I didn't have the words. Tonight, well I still don't have them. It is gut wrenching and I remember the feelings all too well.

Your loved ones never really leave you. Your memories and your love keeps them with you. I am an atheist but despite not believing, since my parents died there have been so many things which make me feel they are watching over me. Little signs which have given me huge comfort.

I am so sorry to read your update tonight on your mum. It is so hard seeing them so sick. Handheld for you from me too and a hug.

Thanks so much lovely MNers. I'm taking you all up on the wedding offer BTW!

Are you ok Lemon? Have you managed to sleep at all?

Un-lurking to say that I'm thinking of you Lemon. It's so hard, what you're doing so I'm sending you a huge un-MN hug and I may have shed a few tears for you tonight

Hiya flora .... Not yet. At least Shoutys I &II and Coughy have all temporarily shut up!

Just a handhold - I should be asleep but Its nice to be holding hands with you. Also have a gentle hug (sorry if I shouldn't- I don't understand the un-MN thing).

Hi lemon, DM hasn't had chemo for 7 weeks now, scan tomorrow and will find out Thursday how fast this bastard is growing to give us some sort of time scale. At the moment she's ok, no appetite and very down.
I spent all night at auditions for our next musical, it was tough and I'm just home but we won't find out until tomorrow, 17 people went for the same part as me and I lost the time twice because of my nerves! Hey ho! It will be great fun whatever (although I can say here I will be devastated if I don't get the part, can't say it IRL).

I think of you often over the days, and I love how brave you are, I don't think I will be as brave as you when it comes to me xxx

Scared to sleep.... Sleepy....argh!!!

Hi Lemon. Thinking of you. If you've dropped off for a bit that's ok. You need a doze at least just to be able to keep on going.

Just let your eyes close if they need to lemon. Lots of us virtually sitting with you.

Hey Lemon, I too hope you're asleep. At least for a while. I'll tiptoe out quietly and won't slam the door. for when you wake up.

Just popping my head round the corner to see if you're OK. Don't stir sweetheart, you need your sleep. Watching over you (whilst stifling a nasty tickly cough which has taken me from my bed - sigh)
There's a whole host of us out here, virtually holding your hand (and I have a lovely fascinator ready to do its duty)

Morning Lemon, hope you're still in a peaceful slumber, with your Mum at your side.

I'm just about to go and wake my DDs for school, will check in on you later, to see how you are doing, with a hand to hold. 🌻

Morning Lemon, hope your night was peaceful & you managed some sleep. I'll pop back later.
