Well its Eddies 62nd birthday today............wonder what we will do, lol.
I have just cooked him a late breakfast now that was a laugh, him laying flat on his back trying to eat it, l think he has more in the bed than in his mouth, don't worry l did feed him in the end.
Nothing really more to say about his recovery just a waiting game now but he has been suffering from a sore throat for quite a few days and nothing seems to help clear it...........any ldeas ?????
Right better do the washing up and get the patient washed (he can do most of it himself, thank God, lol.) xxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDOE- you kept that one quiet !!!!

You will have to celebrate properly when you are up and about - bottle of fizz etc.

Take care both
Love and hugs Mary xx

found this site it got quite a few remdies on it like honey and vinegar ......

To soothe a sore throat, mix equal parts honey and vinegar together, the honey soothes and eases the pain, and the vinegar is a natural antiseptic. I usually use, apple cider vinegar as it tastes a little better, but any vinegar should do.

or

For a sore throat, gargle with a glass of warm water containing ½tsp (2.5g) each of baking soda and salt.

Just a little nudge for my friends xxxxx

Not really much more to tell yet, still waiting for the 12th to have the latest x rays, l really hope the will say that Ed doesn't have to wear the braces anymore as 1, he is banking on it and l keep telling him not to and 2, l am getting really tired now, but if l do have to keep doing it l will (just me having my little moan), lol.
Hope your all keeping well if you have any spare energy please send it to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mummo ,do you have any help with Eddie or is it only you?.I'm thinking bath,shower etc.I'm not surprised you are exhausted.Fingers crossed for the 12th.It's best Eddie doesn't expect the brace to come off,just in case.You just never know with these things do you?

Hi Jane, no l donot get any help, he cannot have a shower or a bath yet and he is not allowed upstairs so we have a bed in the sitting room at the moment and its bed baths for him. x

I'm surprised Mummo.I would have thought you might have a community nurse who would come in to make sure Eddie and you are doing ok.You know maybe to help with bed bath and to check pressure areas etc.

Have never been offered any help Jane, everything l seem to need or want l hit a brick wall, still l'm not going to moan as it won't get me anywhere and we keep plodding on, lol.

Mummo get on to your doctor and ask for some help...you should at very least be entitled to community nurse or occupational therapist coming round to assess whats needed.

It doesn't help to be or appear to be too independent Mummo. Surely the community nurse should call in occasionally?

Mummo I am just going to PM you.

Mummo, please phone your surgery tomorrow and tell them that you need some help.... that is outrageous!

And we shall all nag until you have done so... you must be absolutely wiped out with exhaustion!

Love

Daff xxxx

Just wanted to say I still think of you both.
I hope you have taken the suggestions about asking for help to heart and that some help will be forthcoming.

Do take care.

Please do as others have suggested - you will be no good to Eddie if you are worn out.
