The tooth has gone! Surgeon arrived late for my early appointment yesterday. The clinic is a converted bungalow in Wigmore and did not look as though it had the same high standards that I am used to. However, the surgeon was very matter of fact, gave me a sheet of post op dos and don’ts […]

My turn to visit Mum in hospital today but in the morning I had a call from the hospital that she will be discharged tomorrow. They have got her to stand with helpers on either side, so not bad for 95 yr old. Having said that she is very confused and is looking very old […]

Mum is being very positive but her confusion and memory is worse. It seems she doesn’t know she has had fall and we don’t think she knows she is in hospital, she thinks it’s a nice home, with friendly people! Sue said that Mum is blue with bruising all over her head and arms but […]
