If prayers and positve thoughts work, then here are some more from me.

What lovely news, Ann, I hope all goes to plan so your Mum can come home again, I bet she will be missed in the hospice as she sounds as tho she has been a blessing to some there, staying cheerful.

Will be thinking about you both and hope all goes well.

Really pleased for you and wishing your mum, and you, a peaceful painfree and happy time.

Still praying for you both.

Love from

My pc has been playing up, sorry.

Yesterday mum was in excellent spirits, and still pain and sickness free. It wasnt a stroke she had, she has a problem with her right foot, she cannot flex it or move it at all, they have given her a caliper to wear, although I havent seen her use it yet. More good news, she may come home this week, we have had the adaptations team round to check our home is suitabke for her to come back to, and apart from a seat in the shower, all is fine.When this has been delivered ( tomorrow I think ) she will be re-assesed by the doctor and if she is as well as she has been over the last few days she can come home, I am so excited and releived.

Oh how the power of prayer works, thank you all so much

Ann

Ann, good news again, let's hope your Mum has more days like that.

Shimmer, yes I have a copy of the "Footstep" prayer it is wonderful.

Brian, my father passed away 8 years ago after 30 years of illness, my wonderful mum nursed him all that time.

On a more positive note, when I saw her last night, she was up, dressed and sat in the lounge area, talking to some of the otheer patients, she was bright and pain free, it was wonderful to see her so "well"

God bless you all

Ann

Ann
Never done this before but having gone through what you are suffering, three years ago with my wife and this year with my daughter I know how hard it can be, but can I add to all what previous people have said and tell you to turn to your father eventually you will need each other like never before.Keep your chin up in front of your Mum its all you can do.
Bless you all Brian P

Oh Ann

I am so so sorry hun,

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Thinking of you, your mum, sending positive thoughts and praying too.

Have you a copy of Footsteps in the Sand prayer?
It so helped us with my brother, will c/p and send it to you if you would like.

Take care sweetie

To your Mum, wishing you peace and ease.

Ann, that's awful, how much more does she have to cope with? Push for lots of therapy if it was a stroke to get her as mobile as possible again.
My Mum had a stroke when she was in hospital getting over a heart attack, but she regained the feeling on the side affected, and her speech came back ok after a little while. I kept her laughing when she would start a sentence and get stuck part way for the word, she would repeat the sentence till she got it all out, but I would tell her her needle was stuck lol it made her laugh!

Hope your Mum feels better again soon, so she can do what she feels like doing. Don't suppose the smoking is helping but I expect she needs the support of it so won't want to give up - maybe she could cut back a little.

Wish her all the best from me,
Lizx

Thinking of you all.

Thinking of you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My prayers and thoughts to your Mum.

They think mums falls could be because she has had a stroke so they are checking that out, her speech is slurred and she is now dragging her leg.
Bless her has she not got enough to cope with.

Ann

Bless her, hope she loses the nausea soon, and doesn't have any more falls, to shake herself up or hurt herself. She sounds so determined to behave as usual and probably pushes herself too hard sometimes.
You are doing what you can Ann, don't beat yourself up about it. Your Mum wouldn't want you to be feeling bad - you can't half yourself.

Take care, and special thoughts to your Mum,

Lizx
