<3 I look out for your posts every time I visit.
"I have also been asked to consider carers at home" <-- would that be a couple of quick visits a day or a longer presence?
At least you are back home and everything is getting arranged.

It's fantastic to hear from you Margaret, I'm so glad you keep fighting on as you always day. You keep going show them how you fight this thing. Take care of yourself, hope Frank is ok.
Lots of love Bernadette xx
Hi Bernadette I have decided to have morphine straight i n to driver Been given another course of antibiotics and steroids love margaret xx
Keep on keeping on, Margaret. 💕 We love to hear how you’re getting on. These medical predictions are seldom right.
Hope that driver settles down...is it in the best place, or could the nurse try a move for it??
Love 😘 Penny xx
H penny had driver in 3 diffent places had nurses out 3 more times hope you ok xx
Oh dear! You are having to struggle, Margaret. These drivers don’t seem to suit you. My sister had one put in and it took a while to get it comfortable, but it was in the end. Don’t worry about getting nurses out, it’s their job, and they’re on shifts to make it work.
Good luck if you have to spend daytimes in the hospice....they really know their stuff in my experience.
Love 💕 Penny. I’m alright for now, thanks.
Margaret you are amazing you really are. With all you go through you still manage to let us know. I'm so sorry to hear about your hip fracture, that's awful. I and so many here think of you often and wish you well

Glad to hear that you are confounding the nurses. Long may it last. You have come so far since we first spoke, and are being so brave. All my love and prayers xx
Sending love & strength
It's really good to hear from you. I just love the image of a drunken crab 🦀 I hope you feel a bit better soon and start walking like a starfish instead, slow but sure and quite magnificent 💐
Margaret i am wandering around a hospital ward in the wee hours of the morning thinking I could do with a break and then I read of the inspiring ways that you tackle life head on with your loving companion Frank always by your side and my minor problems pale in to insignificance. Keep on fighting on dear lady.
Love ski's and scruffy xx
Keep on truckin', Margaret. Keep on confounding the expectations of that District Nurse.
It is so good to hear from you Margaret. You have endured so much but you keep on fighting, your such an inspiration.
I'm sending you gentle hugs and hope they get your meds right so your nice and comfortable ((((💓)))) xxxx
It's good to hear from you! Hope they sort out the driver for you quickly. You can see from all the messages on here how much you are thought about - you AND Frank. Bless him! Keep on keeping on, as they say. Do you realise that 'Walk like a drunken crab' fits the music of 'Walk like an Egyptian'. I can picture you now! Take care. xx Moy
Margaret, your courage has grown over the months, and you will continue to fight. Hope Frank is getting support too,we are lucky those of us who have good partners. keep letting us all know how you are
So sorry to hear about all your trials but very impressed by your resilience! Sending love and best wishes x
