Vicky Phelan updated her social media followers this afternoon in a sweet post describing what she has been up to in recent days.
The CervicalCheck campaigner says she has been “adding memories to memory bank” with her friends and children.
She said although she was in pain after a lengthy lunch with pals, she wouldn’t change a thing and described it as a “great day.”
She took to Instagram and said: “Yesterday, I paid for my 2-hour lunch out with my friends. I was probably sitting up straight for too long.
“My back was in bits for the rest of the evening...BUT I would not have changed a thing.
“It was just soooo good to get out of the house yesterday and meet up with two great friends and catch up like normal people do and add more memories to the memory bank.”
She went on to say that her pain had eased today after some much-needed rest and said she then was able to spend the afternoon with her son Darragh doing homework and just “being a mammy.”
“Today, my back behaved because I minded myself and was well rested after a good night's sleep,” she wrote.
“And so, when Darragh came home from school today I was sitting in my spot in our living room ready to help him with his homework.
“We spent ALL afternoon together in the living room getting homework done, practicing his tin whistle which (thankfully) he is getting really good at and it no longer sounds like a banshee wailing anymore.
“And then, when the homework and tin whistle practice was all out of the way, he snuggled in beside me and I got him hooked on Wordle, and, would you believe it...the little fecker is a bloody natural and was whooping my ass after a half hour.”
Concluding the emotional post, Vicky wrote: “For me, these are the times my children will remember...the time I spent sitting down with them being a Mammy helping out with homework but also getting down to their level and doing stuff they're interested in.
“These are the days I live for.”
