Having become bed bound six months ago my mother defies all logic.
Physically she looks as well as ever..
All the things I was warned about, eg higher risk of constipation, well we used to have to admister Movicol before, has not been required since.
We spent a year before with her getting constant uraniry infections, not one infection in the six months...
I was warned that her organs would slow down, which could cause complications - no evidence so far..
My husband was in bed with the flu over the xmas period, and a couple of the carers were also coming down with flu symptoms, - nothing touches my mother, (she hasn't even had the flu jab),
her body is indistructible, a shame that I can't say the same about her mind...
