Should I be worried about this development

As I have said before on here I live over 200 miles away from my terminally ill mum.

Every morning when I am at work she will text me at 9am to let me know she is up.  She did advise she may be late this morning as she was changing her collostomy bag.

At 10.30 I had still not heard from her so I called her, she did answer I had woken her up, she sounded dazed and was talking as if her tongue was too big for her mouth, she said she ached all over and was difficult to understand.

I am going to call her again at lunchtime to give her time to sort herself out but am obviously very worried that she may not be able to do anything. 

Am I right to leave it for a few hours or do I need to take some action before this?

  •                              MUM .....

    YOUR MOTHER IS ALWAYS WITH YOU .... she's the whisper of the leaves in autumn .....  SHE'S IN THE SMELL OF FOODS YOU REMEMBER  .... the flowers you pick ... and the perfume she wore ...

    She's the hand on your brow, when your not feeling well .... she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day ..... THE SOUND OF THE RAIN .that lulls you to sleep ...... she's the colours of the rainbow ...

    YOUR mum will live inside your laughter ...she'll dry your tears , that fall ...she is the place you came from .. she was your first love .. your first friend ...even the one you may have faught with too ...

    She's the map you follow with every step you take ... your both joined by an invisible cord ... that NOTHING CAN BREAK ... NOT TIME ... NOT SPACE ... NOTHING ..  

    sent with love ....  Chrissie xx
