After a gruelling two hour beach walking session that afternoon I received her call. Her voice was raspy and her breathing beginning to rattle. I grabbed my car keys and hit the chemist buying the cold and flu tablets and driving in the dark of night to her place to provide the magic tablets. Her flatmate called me a 'good mother,' but I wasn't listening.
We changed the brand of cold and flu tablets the next day and by the weekend she was dosing up on a tonic as she sat in my lounge while I waited on her hand and foot. I cooked, I cleaned and I dosed her up with modern day magic medicine.
I thought terrible thoughts of missing my plane as she lie in a hospital bed gasping for breath, but it was just my overactive imagination. Thank God.
After two nights I send her home with strict instructions on taking those magic meds and tonic. She sent me a message saying she was getting better. That is just what I had expected. Modern medicine and a Mother's love combined, it's a winning formula.
My suitcase is still not packed but my house is a little cleaner. I have less than 24 hours, wish us well!
