brunch

On my way out to meet my friend and his mother for brunch. mum was supposed to join us. But she decided not to, partly because it would have been awkward for her, not being able to speak English too well, and also for two days her sores and pains seem to have intensified.

She's back on her painkillers now, almost a month since she stopped taking them, at least for the pain and sores in her left arm, related to the tumour in her spine. I had to rush out, because I was already late, and it's not a nice impression to keep people waiting. But I was reluctant to leave, seeing mum lie there in bed, not feeling well...

I thought the radiotherapy was supposed to take the pain away, at least for a couple of months... But what's happening now...?
