    mum had a stroke and we are still trying to sort out proper care for her as she can't walk properly or get up from her chair. So that's not a good way to start 2009.

    Good luck and hugs to you and your family. My nan has had a couple of strokes. Her memory is shot due to the last one, but she has not lost the ability to swear!!! - the body is amazing, it will get better.

    Take care
