Since mum's had her hip op last year and has suffered several infections, she's been quite down. She's confined to her flat and she has carers coming in 4 times daily. Its an upstairs flat and its hard enough work for her to walk from bedroom to bathroom etc, so consequently I can't take her out anywhere and she hasnt seen the my cats for well over a year
(we are still waiting to hear about whether SS will install a stairlift)
Anyway, she really misses seeing the cats, so yesterday, I had to take Zeta to the vets for a check over after her probs with vestibiluar disease. Just before my appointment one of mum's carers phoned me to say mum was feeling sick (one of the nighttime carers had given her a tablet at bedtime she shouldnt have
) so I said I'd pop in. I was going to take Zeta home first - but suddenly thought, no, I'll take her round to mums.
- (its just round the corner from the vets)
Zeta was an absolute star, she wasnt at all put out by being in a strange place, went round investigating all the rooms, jumped up on mum's lap, and made herself at home on mum's bed
The look on mum's face when I appeared in the lounge with Zeta in my arms was priceless! I havent seen her look that happy for a long time - and when Zeta sat on her lap, mum said to her, you've made my day
It was just brill, and I was so proud of my girl, she's 16 and just took everything in her stride, which is so typical of her anyway - and she actually looked very much at home, I'm sure she'd have been quite happy staying!
