Hi Honeybun,
I am going to enjoy being with mum whilst she is still here. She is frail but they are very tough characters. After 5 times in hospital falls, fractures, norovirus (all last year), she has made a lot of progress. At the time she refused to have a stick - typical - and refused carers or occupational therapists. The reason being because some of them were being more of a hindrance than a help. She resented having people in moving mats etc, when she knew where the risks in her house were. She said they treated her as if she didn't have a brain.
At the time I was concerned because I had to clear up blood etc due to her fall and thought she would need to be 'looked after'. I was really worried it was going to happen again, when I least expect it. However, she is now walking down to the high street with her pull along trolley, doing very small amounts of shopping. Sometimes she has lunch delivered and watches a film in the afternoon, quizzes, deal etc.
This is what she likes. I generally do things to fit in with her now, due to her busy routine, including roller skating!!!!!
