Delighted to see you ... yes I remember you did a lot for your parents in the way an Emanuensis used to do. I was always amazed at what my mother remembered and the words she used.<br /><br />Loved your mother directing you to Black's medical re her suspicion for her oedema ... <br /><br />Amazing what life holds for us ... these are precious and happy memories to have as our mothers aged. Great to see you - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-72722166819797243642019-08-16T12:26:25.918+01:002019-08-16T12:26:25.918+01:00Sorry I wasn't able to comment and support you...Sorry I wasn't able to comment and support you during this time. Lovely to see you had helpers. Interesting, I tended to be my parents' Emanuensis too. My mother would have known that term. Like your mum she was well educated. When she had Alzheimer's she directed me via Black's medical to her suspicion she had oedma. She was correct.

When I lived in South Africa - certainly 'maid' was used ..but slave - has it not died out yet?<br /><br />That's quite frightening if that is so? It worries me .. !!Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-7098307851326758922010-03-12T15:17:03.488+00:002010-03-12T15:17:03.488+00:00Such an interesting word!
