Thank you both, it really does help to post. I can’t say much at home as daughter is away in the middle of her uni exams and husband is suffering with anxiety and depression (long term sufferer and currently exacerbated by the loss of his mum last year).

My focus has totally switched to my mum at the moment. Her appt is 3rd Feb so not too long to wait (although it is going to feel like ages). Doubt they will let me in with her but going to ask when I hopefully see the dr this week to see if I can go in as a carer as she is a little unsteady and doesn’t hear too well.

Thanks again
