Yes, my Mum has been really poorly with a chest infection for we have been backwards and forwards to the doctors etc.
Still need to finish my book too. I have been listening to the audio version so it has taken me a little longer. Hopefully will be finished in the next day or too.
Ps Happy new year everyone!

Task: 👻Read a book with a white cover (min 50%)

Fingers crossed the new steroids and antibiotics we got from the doctors seem to be working and she is starting to cough less.
I ams till ploughing my way through the book. The audio is taking too long so I have actually switched to the kindle version.

Hope she stays on the well side and the meds help her. I totally understand and it's rough but you will all do your best of course. Hope the book is a good one at lease :)

Scoleri Brothers:
The Scoleri Brothers, Nunzio & Tony are a ghostly pair of psychopathic brothers. They are killers who were sentenced in 1948 by Judge Stephen "the Hammer" Wexler for murder and sentenced to death by execution. The execution was performed at Ossining Prison via the electric chair. It's been over 40 years and some negatively charged Psychomagnotheric slime (or mood slime) among some court exhibits has manifested the Scoleri brothers in their ghostly electric chairs. Can you and your team capture them?

Thank you everyone, yes Mum is finally feeling better. 5 lots of antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids later. Turns out it wasn't just a chest infection it was pneumonia! Add that to the damage caused to her lungs and muscles by the stroke no wonder they weren't working.
Off to the hospital this afternoon to see the physio, so hopefully we are moving forwards :)

Yes, here in the UK. The hospitals have been maxed out with patients. They have been asking people to stay at home and self medicate.
