Thanks from Mum

Mum has asked me to say a big thank you from her to all the people who have sent her cards. They really helped her keep her spirits up and she felt cherished and supported while she was in hospital. So here it is for all of you - A BIG THANK YOU!

Mum is getting better every day and had a great piece of news today - she can start driving next week.

I'm leaving Fieldside tomorrow morning, quite confident that she will be able to manage on her own. And if she ever feels she can't, she has numerous neighbours that she can call on. Richard will be going to Norfolk next week, and of course Michael is around as well.

So that's it from me - signing off!

All good news

Sorry not to have posted for a while. Life has been quietly hectic. Mum is feeling much better, still gets tired, but less so every day. All the minor issues are getting better, but not quite there yet.  She's being very diligent about doing her exercises, and is walking further and faster every day. 

And now she is now counting the days until she can drive again (early September - so watch out!).

I have just updated the diary for the next week. Now taking booking for the week after!

And she's home!

Just a quick note to say that Maria is well and truely home now. As you know I will be here in August to help her settle back in. 

However, I have quite a lot of work on just now, so we have hatched the following plan. I will work in the mornings, and Mum will potter till lunchtime and then have a rest till about 3.30. That will leave the afternoons from 4-6 free for visitors. If you would like to come round, perhaps you could call in the morning so we know who to expect. Thanks!

Great news!

The ward sister has just called to say that they are discharging Maria today (Tuesday) - not to the N&N - but home directly. So I'll be buzzing up to Papworth after lunch and hope to be back in time for supper! 

I'll now start keeping the Diary page up to date with hospital appointments, planned visits and so on. And get in a few boxes of tea bags and a couple of cakes as well. We'd love to see you.:O)

4th August 2012. I saw mum last night and she was in good spirits. No news as such. She still has a machine attached to her leg which is draining fluid and this is preventing her from going home or to another hospital. If a bed becomes available at the N&N then she will be moved there. Now Sarah is going to be at Fieldside from 6th onwards it may be that mum will come straight home. As always we will keep you posted if there news. But best thing to say is mum is so much better now. Mike ;-)
