Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Hi @Shaz51

Your mum's arm is taking a long time to heal and she seems to have stomach pains - oh dear - it is such a worry for you - and she is tired - I understand that - her being tired I mean - and you have so much more on your plate

Yes - electrical equipment can go out one thing after another at times - after Dad died my electical equipment did that - and he was the one who taught me about electricity - it was like he was telling me something - it all settled down - I hear you though

A pity that Mr Shaz can't donate a kidney for you - it seems it meant a lot to him but he does need to have the same blood and tissue types -

Of course Mr Shaz is anxious - this has to make it harder but he does care - I get that

@Shaz51, your Mum's wound sounds like it's similar to the problems my Mum has had. She's got some that still aren't healing up too. I know it causes my Mum a lot of pain, would imagine the same's true for yours. 😞

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Better than she was @Shaz51. She's finding her reduced mobility a bit of a pest, I think. Not surprising. And because we had to pack away/remove some things from her room so that the staff could get a lifter in there, shes having trouble finding some things she wants. We tried to oly take out things we hadn't seen her using, so they're probably just packed somewhere different.

I think the "drastic surgery" leg has healed up OK, and she's now got a new wheelchair that's better suited for her current needs; but the wounds on her other leg are still refusing to heal, and she's concerned that they may go "critical" at some stage. Unfortunately that's possible. We can only wait and see.
