Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
hugs @Determined
Uncle is not good @Former-Member , @Former-Member
Mum walked 20 meters with her new hip with a walker and the physio , very tired and uncomfortable
have to get two wheel walkers for mum`s house , one upstairs and one downstairs
family are a bit upset as she could be in hospital for only a weeek , so aunty and cousins are giving me lots of advice ( some are unneeded )
i agree I think see needs more than that

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
They discharge patients from hospital so quickly @Shaz51. Mr Darcy did have the district nurse come round to attend to his dressings post op. As his surgery was planned, an OT came and looked at our house and advised what we would need. Since Mum's last fall, she has had a physio come round to help her with balance exercises, I believe for 8 weeks, perhaps organised with GP help.

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
Yes mum had a physio who gave her balance exercises to do at home and we also have railings on the steps, in the bathroom, toilet , now to get the wheel walkers
I see the dietician has seen mum in hospital already
I feel guilty for not staying a long time with mum with visiting -- mum is falling asleep all the time
on thursday mr shaz stayed with me while mum went into surgery and back to the ward , then he had to drive 60kms back home
that night I was soo tired from not sleeping at all the night before and had pains between my shouldre bones , I had to bite my tounge with what mr shaz was saying that night @Former-Member

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
@Shaz51 hope you get better sleep tonight.
It is hard to find balance when we need to work too.

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
Hi @Former-Member 👋🌸
Also @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Determined
I've had a quiet weekend mostly Darcy. How about you?
While hubby was at his mates place across the road this afternoon, I even took the opportunity to have a nice relaxing soak in the bath. 🛀 🧡
This much cooler weather we have now is much nicer to be able to enjoy such luxuries.
I would dearly love to get some decent sleep at night, but alas thats unlikely to happen over the next week or two.
Sherry 🌼💕
