    well unfortunately my mother was in absalute agony on xmas day bed ridden, spent the last 3 weeks in hospital, going for an operation soon that'll hopefully resolve it.

    vegas is all booked..... due to her inability to move much, i just give her the flight details on a piece of paper, "is this a wind up" she says... shes over the moon, she said she'd be running around the room happy if she could move.

    aw bless her - sounds like this is just what she needs. I do hope she'll be up and about soon. She must be a lovely person - because YOU are and she brought you up! I would be as proud as a peacock if I were her!
