dreams

Had a really rough night, felt like I only slept a few minutes, when in fact it had been six, seven hours.

Disturbed by dreams, details of which i cannot remember anymore. But they were vert unpleasant, that much I know, and I suspect it had something to do with mum's condition.

Her throat and tonsils continue to be inflamed. The pain comes and goes, but it is making her moody and frustrated. A friend of hers, who used to be a nurse, told her on the phone last night that the radiotherapy Basically weakens, if not destroy, the immune system, so se is susceptible to infections and it will take longer than usual to heal. It's been almost four weeks already, and still the difficulties ingesting food persist.

She is just siting down, sighing in pain. There's nothing I can do about it...
