@Shaz51 Hi Shaz51 sounds a hell of a day..... why is the physio so dead set on your mother using a stick when she is happy with the walker? Is this the same physio that wanted your mum to go to the pool?

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Perhaps time to check and see if things like meals on wheels could be continued @Shaz51

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Sometimes I wonder @Shaz51

Your mother is 88 and has a bowel obstruction for which she has had countless operations and it has been suggested she goes to a swimming pool 30 minutes drive away - and she told the physio and the person had it all "planned" - I am glad your Mum spoke up - and I don't think a swimming pool would be fun for me actually - ah woe is me - I am sorry it the plans were not going to work - truly - but that's asking a lot for an older person

Using a walking stick would be a harder issue - perhaps your Mum needs to speak up some more - it must be nerve-wracking watching her battle

We are all entitled to our opinions - and we are entitled - we even need to speak up - I can understand your Mum wanting to stick with the walker - she must be feeling safer with the mobile support with a handy seat right there. She is so independent naturally if she wants to stick with the walker being so independent she need tp say so - very hard for her to give up I can tell

And you felt sick while you were cooking - my guess this isn't a symptom of pregnancy - so maybe it's your gall-bladder - or stress from all the visitors your Mum had - or something else - which you don't need

This is your second Mum saying take it easy - I'm glad you had time off over Easter - today it was raining - and you had custard tarts with your Mum - that sounds good

All the best Shaz - this is not an easy time for you and it has been going on with on-going stressors

Thinking off you

@Shaz51 in her buggy? is that a motorised scooter?

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Do you ever take Mum's buggy for a spin @Shaz51 ?

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51 a motorised scooter is a huge step .... I don't blame your mother just wanting to stay at home All of this must be such a worry for you Shaz51 😞
