Oh dear sorry to hear Eddie has had a fall - tell him from me to take it easy. As for you snoring - tell him he should hear me !!!! Bet you enjoyed your little sleep though.
Take care both
Love Mary xx

OMG Glad he's not done too much damage to himself.

Tell him he needs to put more water in it in future lol

Oh Mummo! Sorry to hear of Eddies fall.I'm not surprised it shook him up.I suppose his muscles will be so weak after weeks of not using them he is bound to be a bit vulnerable.
I think you are entitled to have a good snore .You must be Kn***ered lol

Hi there Mummo. I have just found this thread, so now I know why Ed was in a brace. I didnt like to ask on other threads where it was mentioned.

Best wishes to you both.

Huia.

Huia, have PM'd you

Hi Mummo ,
i hope Eddie isn't to bad after his fall
you know these hospitals sometimes makes me angry
they never tell you anything do they, you expect an answer and get none
But Eddie has done well in getting rid of the brace .
Fancy going to sleep in your poor husbands Bed ,,,shame on you wmsl :))
Take care Mummo .

Morning Mummo, Hope Eddie has recovered from his fall what a shock for you both, not surprised you fell asleep ! take care both of you xx

Hi Mummo, sorry to hear of Eddies fall. I'm shocked the Dr wouldn't come out to see him, especially considering what he's been through.
Other than his fall, its good to hear he's progressing well.

Both of you take care,

Steve

really sorry to hear this hope he is better soon and we are all hear for you , pm me any time if you want to chat, my life is surrounded by hospitals xxx
ps take care of yourself too xx lorraine aka puss xx

Hi everyone, :))))
Well took Ed to physio today for his half hour assessment which ended up as a 1hour 40 minute one and the outcome is that as he needs intensive physio , he will be having it at home to start with so they can build his body up a bit then start getting him in the gym also they are going to get occupational therepy to come to the house to see what help we need ( only taken them about 7 weeks to come to this conclusion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
Well at least things seem to be moving, fingers crossed and they are going to arrange for Eddie to have a Xray on his pelvis to see if he did do any damage when he had his fall 10 days ago.
Will keep you updated..............will our lifes ever get back to normal, lol.

Mummo, it always seems ons darn thing after another! The physios often sort out aftercare in this area, doctors here know thier limitations! But, next time you want to know something from a consultant, or any doctor, just say you dont understand what you are to do and ask for an explanation. From my nursing and patient experience, if you dont ask, they think you understand.

I am sure Eddie will be fine with physcio (spelling ?) Keep your chin up Mummo - I pray every night for you two - I am sure you will come out of this tunnel. Much love and hugs
Take care
Love Mary xx

It's a long journey but you both seem to be getting there. Make sure you look after yourself - you need caring for too.

It seems like one step forward and two back, I hope the intensive physio care gets him going soon and on the road to a full recovery......x

At least they are doing something, however I can't understand why occ therapist has not been involved before.

Mummo,I think you have grounds for making a complaint .The fact that you have had no input from OT physio and no visit from Dr after Eddies fall.You have been left on your own for all these weeks .(there I have said my bit lol)
I bet Eddie felt a bit cream crackered after seeing the Physio today.
You will get there in the end!!!

I am sorry that Eddie has had a set back, but at least he is going to get his Physio now, I can't believe that the Occupational Therapists have not been out to asses your home. Here they do that first before anyone is allowed home. They have all sorts of gadgets to make life easier .
I hope that you start getting the help you both deserve.
