Preoccupied

This is really just a message to let people who I care about here know that I am a bit preoccupied at the moment.
My mother's health seems to be spiralling down hill and I am very concerned. She has not been able to eat properly, has a choking sensation and is bringing up pleghm. I do not need a crystal ball to tell me that this, along with her 5kg weight loss is not good.
It has all come to a head over the past few days and today my brother and his wife took her to the doctor. The doctor is taking action on a few fronts and we will have to take her for examinations and assessements later in the week.
If I am silent it is because I am finding this quite difficult and I am directing all my energy towards looking after myself.
For once I am focibly staying in the rear guard and letting family members take the inititatives. As a result family members are stepping up and taking action and for now I am in my bunker. 
If I can focus I may write more but for the now the words are not flowing.
