Mum back home one shoe and bare operated foot on cold tiles ๐Ÿ˜ข

Fran best homehelp ever gets it all wrong ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Whoever invented foot appliances ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Doctor visiting this am, will twist his arm so he signs the nursing home admission papers ๐Ÿค“

I mean what is the use of lymphangioleiomyomatosis if it doesnโ€™t help with appealing to someoneโ€™s humaneness??

Love ๐Ÿ’–

Fran xx

Hi Carole,

No he didnโ€™t sign..said one thing at a time, he was coming back on the 24th to take the stitches out.

Mum said the Augmentin gave her bad stomach ache he said thatโ€™s normal.

She said she needed homehelp he said what for..awful man.

Sunshine came back!!

Love,

Fran xx

Oh Fran! Your poor mum, what a horrible man. No empathy at all.

Augmentin upsets my hiatus hernia so itโ€™s not my antibiotic of choice.

Wishing you and your dear mum well and lots of wonderful sunshine. Xxx ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ˜˜

Horrible!! The surgeon gave her another 10 days worth of Augmentin, it was a staphylococcus aureus, did I tell you? Poor Mum..

Thank you my dear Carole ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’— xxx

Not really this time, Fran. One teething and VERY unhappy most of the day, the other was bitten at school, promptly went to loo in trousers, and was sent home eventually in an outsize school uniform on what was 'dress down' day....his civvies nowhere that Grandma could find! Life's a struggle sometimes ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคก....if you don't laugh, and all that!!

Have a good day, Fran, whatever happens. Wishing your dear Mum patience, gratitude and some usable footwear....soon!

Dear Happy Fran,i think i still have a supply of those big Nhs non slippy socks in an alarming red colour with bobbles on that Cecilia used to wear over her paralysed foot,i will post forthwith.I said you can do no right with Mum but it's nice that she has the energy and cognitive ability to tell you so. lol :)

love Ski's and Scruff's xx

โ€ข in reply toskischool

Dear ๐ŸŽฟ and Scruffynounette,

Yes put those in the post please ๐Ÿ˜‰

I cut a couple of socks, even a couple of shoes ๐Ÿ˜‚ but apart from making a mess I was unsuccessful, her foot is icy on that tiled floor.

Yesterday the doctor came late at the same time as the nurse, so she ran out and said she didnโ€™t have time to stay.

Then the cleaning lady from the SOS Solidaritรฉ association phoned and cancelled.

So I had planned a morning off with respiratory physio and nebs, but I postponed, showered and went.

We had lunch, I brought mine, Mum got a tray and moaned non-stop. Well it was cold, I said I warm it up in the microwave but she didnโ€™t want me too because her microwave is full of ornaments for some reason you will surely guess but I canโ€™t ๐Ÿ˜‚

By that stage I had reached for a couple of paracetamol and said how about a hot cup of tea and an afternoon nap! I made that a cup of relaxing herbal tea!!!

I slept deeply, woke up at 2 pm and saw Mum with a metre, she wanted me to measure her foot and go to the local chemist to see what orthopaedic shoes he had, which I did. I ordered them. She had a prescription.

When I came back, Mum said she never told me to order them, she wanted to try them on, I said that wasnโ€™t possible but we would see what to do if they didnโ€™t fit. She gave me the look, phoned the chemist and cancelled them.

By which stage it was time for my respiratory physio and another couple of paracetamol so I asked her neighbour to come and I left.

She phoned me later to say the nurse didnโ€™t turn up, but she had her tray of ham salad.

So I went to bed and didnโ€™t move!

Weโ€™ll see what today has in store ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜‡

Hope your day went well.

Love,

Fran xx

Hi Fran

Your mum is quite a lady and you certainly tell an entertaining story: ornaments in the microwave! Ordering shoes, forgetting , cancelling etc

Bet you're doing a fair bit of counting to 10.

Try to get as much rest as you can.

Love to you both

Corin

Hola Carino, Hope your Mum is feeling better today, I remember having a "Bunion" removed, had to have one of those large Shoe/Sandal, can't remember the right name. They cost a lot though. Hope all is well today on this Fresh Friday here in The Midlands, Due to have sunshine later. take care. Besos. xxxxxx

โ€ข in reply toHacienda

Yes itโ€™s one of those but I think Iโ€™ll wait until her stitches are out next Wednesday, just keep her with chopped up socks and a slip on hospital paper shoe so she is protected.

Thanks Carolina xx ๐Ÿ˜˜
