Notes: When Mum was a young girl she was put into a Convalescent Home. It
was said that she had a "nervous disability" (fainting). Mum had fainting spells
most of her life. When we lived in Hornsby (1964??) she fell into the glass
table dad had made. She cut her lip badly. Instead of phoning for an ambulance,
dad held onto Mum's lip all through the night. She never had a scar.
When she
was 60 she had a stroke. She had been having TIAs for quite a while which had
been
diagnosed as migraines. It was eventually discovered that Mum had a disease
called Polycythemia rubra vera
"In its characteristic
form, all three blood cells (red
blood cells,
white blood cells
and
platelets)
are elevated, and the spleen
is enlarged. The disease progresses
in phases.".
She took medication until
her death. Her asbestosis was said to have been caused by the shaking of clothes
covered with the dust. ie dad's overalls. Dad worked with asbestos for most of
his working life. |
