Mum update

[wiseheart]

She's gone through surgery and woke up from narcosis all right. She's a bit confused, but it's apparently a result of narcosis and will clear up in a day or three. At least the very nice nurse I spoke to on the phone said so. Now the thing I'm mainly worried about is her osteoporosis - whether the bone is strong enough to keep the needle or pin or whatever it is they put into it. All we can do is to hope and to pray.

H - Little Emma's grandmother - dug out her old phone she no longer uses. We put Mum's SIM card into it, and I'll take it to the hospital for her, so that she'll have some outside contact, at the very least. I'll write her a user manual with 2 cm large, thick black letters; fortunately, it is easy to use.

That's basically it. I hung on the phone with the hospital and friends (Mum's and my own ones), took her medicines, reading glasses and a few necessities - not to mention her lucky teddy bear - to the hospital and am hoping for the best. After barely three hours of sleep that's the most I can do today.

What good news, as good as it can be, that she's come out of it normally and will clear up relatively soon. l join the others in hoping very hard the bone will heal properly with the pin in place, and the recovery will be uncomplicated.

I was so, so very relieved you were able to get a phone and will be able to speak to her by phone. Just the sound of your voices will be tremendously comforting and reassuring to both of you.

Sleep well — I hope you will be able to, now that the shock is past and hopefully your worry and anxiety will fade, knowing Mum's got her meds, her glasses, and her lucky teddy bear! It will be so good to be able to talk to her tomorrow!

Take care. Sending lots of love to you and your Mum.
