Mummy comes home tomorrow and she is looking forward to it immensly. My dad has cheered up no end - at the moment he is playing cricket in the garden with my 4 year old nephew!
We have rearranged the house so my mum has a 'day bed' downstairs and she will have help to come downstairs in the morning and back up to bed in the evening, plus someone to do the chores etc. At last things are looking up.
Mummy's confusion has settled down and she is now pretty perky in her little ward. Of course, she forgets she has to look after her new hip and the nurses have been watching her like a hawk incase she escapes her bed and heads down the corridor to the toilet!
Thank you all for your comments and great support - it's so lovely to know there are people out there who care and are (or have) going through it - you're all bricks!!
As for me - I'm looking forward to going home on Tuesday and seeing the family again as my job as prop is now being taken over by professionals. It seems such a long time I have hugged my husband, had a good girly night in with my daughters and chatted about combines and tractors with my son (he's an engineer!). I have also to beg forgiveness from my dog, cat, horse, 2 pigs and 2 sheep for leaving them so long!! No doubt the cat will ignore me for days!!
