been very busy today and yesterday, so barely was online yesterday (like was online, but it was "what chill stuff can I find"), and just got on today (at 19:58).

sort of like talking about it, and probably will write something up over atJigme Datse (@JigmeDatse)... (I hope Plurk doesn't Plurk that up). Where I've got more space, and am more active.

I hope your Mum isn’t seriously ill.

She's mostly "old". It's not so much about her health... But rather about how the communication has gone down.

that if she is seriously ill (so far not any of the communications are indicating they care claiming so), that's OK, but the communication should be clear.

it sounds like they suspect something might be seriously wrong but don't want to commit themselves even to telling the victim, let alone family members / next of kin(?).

the uncertainty can be very anxiety provoking.

Holding you and your family in the light.

that sef_lopod makes a very reasonable assumption, but the communication breakdown is far in excess of, "we are concerned, but don't know what's going on..." but rather, telling my sister (who doesn't have day to day interaction let along in person interaction) significant information, while not talking to the people she lives with.

they may consider it, "legitimate" as when she went down with myself and dad, they asked for an "emergency contact," and neither of us made sense, so she stated that my sister was the emergency contact. But I would think if you call it "emergency contact," it would be someone to contact in the case of a "medical emergency," which there's zero evidence of.

it didn't seem likely that she is in a position that she is likely to not be returning home.
