It started at 12.30 AM [intentional shouty capitals] when the phone rang. Dragging ourselves from the depths of sleep, DH just had time to notice that it was Mum's NH before the ringing stopped.
I spent quite a lot of the rest of the night trying to get through to Mum's unit but the phone was continually picked up by people who asked ME how to put me through 
Eventually, I gave up on the basis that they would have rung a brother which they had. I couldn't get back to sleep for expecting one brother or another to ring.
At 6.30, I got a text from my brother to say that mum had had a fall, an ambulance had been called but she had refused, in no uncertain terms, to go to hospital. An on call doctor was called to glue her head together. This was the second fall this week due, we think, to her forgetting that she should use a walker.
In the mean time we realised that we hadn't seen DD's cat for two days and then she got a phone call to say that the house she shared with the Idiot had been egged. It was not me!!! She went to clean up the house and discovered her cat was in the garden. This house is 3 miles away and between us and it there is a canal, the A6 and a mainline railway. 
I went to visit mum, to be met by the GP who was checking that she hadn't broken her hip in the fall as she was complaining of back pain, he doesn't think she has! Mum was on great form and I fell for the (extremely young 
) doctor who was brilliant with my mum, flirting with her and complimenting her outrageously, which she really loved.
I've had no sleep, I've got to cook a curry and then it must, surely, be bedtime!

Oh dear Kitty- enjoy that - you are being put through the mill- and sandwiched from both sides. hugs
kitty You must dream about the doctor and then you won't want to wake up!
Glad your mum is ok though 
don't fall for the Dr, they're terrible people
Not if they are like you Galen and he was young and lovely and MALE!!! 
What a day indeed! Hope you enjoyed the curry & and manage to sleep well tonight.
I was going to say 'sleep like a baby' but perhaps not
kitty, zzzzzz 
and empathy. Disconnect the phone tonight! Sleep well.
Early night kitty. Good book, nightcap followed by 'sweet dreams' 
Glad to hear your mum was on good form. She may have sweet dreams too after all that flirting and compliments.
Galen you have to be old to be on this forum . I have seen your photo's though and you are most definately not either of the last two.
You most certainly don't have to be old to be on this forum! Whatever gave you that idea, Agus?
There are plenty of grans under 60 on here (which is very young to me!)
I didn't realise there were plenty GNs under sixty so I will rephrase that to there are quite a few of the older generation on this forum
It was meant jokingly Ana
kitty 
and good vibes for a peaceful sleep.
