It is, I am a happy bunny again Michelle

I hope her food intake improves too, I have been to M & S food hall and got her some mini meals Michelle

Thank you for your words lincslady, it explains things really well for me Michelle

Thank you Eddie99, I am happy too Michelle

It’s cheered me up too Graham. Hopefully she will continue to improve, I think she will need lots of help but she is so much better Michelle

Massive relief, I was worried Michelle

Kind of you to think about my mum Graham. You won’t believe it but when I visited last night she was like a different person. She walked around the ward with my hubby using her Walker. Her mind and speech was a sharp as it’s ever been. She walked around during the day too with the physio and occ health lady. They say she can come home as soon as care is in place at home. Unbelievable, but I am very happy Michelle

I would agree it’s more like a guest house, very clean though. We didn’t park there, parked at ABP. I would say it was about 10 mins to City Cruise Terminal. Michelle

I am getting a hybrid for the first time on Monday. I am getting a self charging Hyundai Kona. They have introduced a new model which is quite a bit bigger than the old one so it can accommodate my mobility scooter. Looking forward to it Michelle

We stayed there in August last year with our grandchildren. The rooms were very nice and breakfast was good. There is a nice pub across the road where we went to eat a meal as no food was available at the hotel. I would definitely stay there again Michelle

Mum update - she is waiting for a bed at another hospital for intermediate care (respite), they have four wards at this hospital offering this so hopefully she won’t have to wait long. She is still not eating much, they are giving her protein drinks now. Hopefully they can help her with her mobility too. She has changed overnight from been totally independent to needing full time care. It is so sad to see Michelle

I hope the patches work for you. I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been as polite as you managed to be, you did well to keep composed. Michelle

My Gran still had an outside toilet when she died in 1986!! The crazy thing is they made a small bathroom in the corner of their bedroom and only put a bath & a sink in it!! Michelle

Fortunately I have got both care and financial for my mum Michelle

That is just awful and terrible customer service. Hope your hubby is doing ok Michelle

Don’t forget the wine too!!! Michelle

Thank you for the heads up on that, I appreciate it Michelle

Good morning everyone on this very wet and miserable morning. Our dogsdidn’t enjoy going out this morning one little bit especially the Cavalier as she thinks she is a bit of a Princess. My mum is still in hospital, they want to send her home with carers three times a day but she can’t get to the bathroom by herself which in only about 10 feet across the ward. I think she needs to go into Rehab for a couple of weeks until she becomes more mobile and a bit stronger. She isn’t eating hardly anything yet either and refusing the ensure drinks they want her to have. I have requested the rehab ward, just waiting to hear now. I am getting a new car on Monday so have to take my mobility scooter to the company fitting the hoist in the new car today. Have a nice day everyone Michelle

Have a lovely time today with your great granddaughter Michelle

My favourite coffee Michelle

Hi Avril, just back from hospital now. Yesterday she was no way at all, in bed and sent us home because she didn’t want visitors. Today when I got there she was sat in a chair at the side of the bed. Drs say she can come home but there is no way she could manage at home. She has told them she doesn’t need a care package she can manage herself, in reality she can’t get across the ward to the bathroom without a nurse helping her. We have an appointment to see the Dr tomorrow afternoon. The other concern is she won’t eat, only having porridge and ice cream and is refusing any other food. I don’t know what to think really. Michelle

That sounds like a lovely day, hope you all have a great day out Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all having a nice day. It’s a lovely sunny day here. My daughter and son-in-law have come over with the three boys. Boys have gone out on a bike ride into St Annes and my daughter has gone to visit her Grandma in hospital. Michelle

Have a lovely time celebrating Michelle
