[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes Jen, you have more experience than most...and of both sides of the coin...with yourself and with you looking after your mum.
Most of my experience was in a professional capacity...but even then, you are never really sure just how you will react. You hope that your training kicks in...and I have to say that in every case mine has.
I have also had a few alarms with Ma and so far, the nurse in me steps forward and pushes the daughter out of the way.
When Ma had her heart attack, it was like someone else took over and did the first aid stuff.
Himself says I am 'a cool half back'...it is afterward that it all hits home with me.
