have persuaded her to lie down on the sofa in the kitchen.  She seems so weak, yet she wants to do her little chores and I don't dare to leave her to go upstairs to paint or even got outside to putty. I am in a quandary what to do and about the future. I can't see Mrs B. staying under such circumstances a minute, and I don't see how I can stay here all winter either. My mother, I think, realizes a bit her condition. She is lying there with her glasses on, trying to orient herself, tho she has asked me within 10 minutes the same question.

He said it was just circulatory, not from any high blood pressure, and he wants to watch her for a few days to see how it develops. "Anything can happen" he said.
