We’re starting to get concerned (again) about Mum’s health. The ‘patches’ that the Doctor gave her a while ago, to ease the pain with her other hip now don’t seem to be helping much at all. Combine that with her falling into the TV and then into the fireplace on Friday has meant she’s in even more pain now.
After faffing around with NHS Direct, she eventually called an ambulance yesterday and once in hospital, was given the once-over.
The good news was that she had only bruised herself and it was nothing more serious than that – I think she thought it was more than that and she’d cracked the other hip.
The bad news? Apparently, she has to put up with the pain of the hip as it’s simply ‘wear-and-tear’ – that just doesn’t seem right to me, that she just has to ‘grin-and-bear-it’.
Hhhmmm….
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
