I am getting thru each day kinda in a daze but have to be strong for my Dad too.....
He is so lost w/o Mom,and it is hard to have the roles totally reversed ya know
If not for my hubby and daughter ......and my HW family I would be a lost soul
I just have a wee bit of advice for all .......Let those you love know it every day as there will come a day when you no longer are able to tell them........God Bless .........Luv all ......Lyn

hi guys

spent a couple of days in hospital, had to have an op, wrist put back in place and 2 wires to keep it there, will have to stay like that for 5 weeks, then wires out and plaster off, then hopefully just a brace for 3 weeks.

am staying with my mum for a few days, heading back home on wed, via oban hosp for appt

hope you guys are all well
