Bit of a health scare for the ol' girl yesterday. Fainted, collapsed went to bed. I was in the garden and had no idea. ol' boy was down the bellarine gave me a buzz to see where she was. I found her completely out of it with fever symptoms. He comes racing back directing me on what to do / look for over the phone. Fuck she's lucky to have a medico hubby.

but jeez ol' boys language / demeanor changes when there are problems like the ones we've seen in the last 6 months. Shit gets calm, direct and accurate. He's normally a grumpy old bastard. We have our differences but with mum's polycrisis, we're both on the same page which has completely surprised me.

Oh your poor mum, and you & yr dad. Hope she’s ok and is on the mend soon
