I can't do that - put on my boots, that is, not yours - without leaning against something.
I may need to have carers come in to help me dress and then at night to help me undress.The main problem being bra's and my shoulder brace and splint There is no way I can do these by myself when Oh is not around .in Nov he is away and Dd goes to Aus.
Tomorrow we have our lovely oversized bath taken out and replaced by a walk in shower so I can shower independantly.
Still no rehab sorted so i am seeing the gp tomorrow and have a private physio coming in the afternoon.I now have elasticated waist trousers and a new pair of nordika slippers with backs in as mules are too risky. I am 54 going on 84 at present.0 -
yesterday as I ate breakfast in bed our little elderly cat stole two bits of toast off my plate. today as I was holding a sandwich i felt a tug on it. the dog had hold of it and was trying to take it from me. I need protection.0

At the moment is a key part of that Spirit. You have made the first parts of your recovery really well.
Now the slower bits start. Hard work, hard work. But you can do it.
As you get more strength back in that arm and more dexterity it might be worth having a look for some front fasting bras. It might be there comes a stage where that is possible before the standard back fastening.0 -
Yes! Mushrooms! :j Welcome ivyleaf.
By way of introduction; my name is Wheezy, I'm the Belgian around here (or as PasturesNew would say : "a bloody furrener").
Avid mushroom lover (as most NP's
), no kids, but blessed with a lovely spouse and a silly westie.
Lovely to meet you, Wheezy
Which part of Belgium are you from? We lived near Antwerp for a couple of years when my husband was in the army, and have been having mayo with our chips ever since! A lovely country, and not just because of the chips with mayo, or the chocolate. I miss it, but have managed a couple of visits.
I've seen a pic of your Westie, he's lovely (I think it's a he, apologies if not.)0 -

Edit: Their environs are a bit shabby .... so no nice, shiny, clean ones, I'll see what I've snapped.
Edit 2: Here is the least shabby one, feel free to not use it http://i59.tinypic.com/15plw5u.jpg
Pastures, that's really sweet of you! And it's a great picture! I've bookmarked it to keep it safe, but I'm not sure how to make it into my avatar though - can anyone advise please? I'm not at all technically-minded

Just what I was thinking.
Spirit, I'm sorry your pets are helping themselves to your food! how frustrating

Just dashing out but thought I'd update re. Dad.
He saw the GP with Mum today. The GP is pretty certain it's not TIAs; took 2 b/p readings, will get an ECG and full blood test.
No referrals on for CT/MRI at the moment. He thinks there's a pattern of tiredness, long days, stressful travel, and eating a large meal at the end of that. Has suggested obvious ways to ameliorate this risk in the future and will of course see him pronto if anything further happens.
It sounds reassuring for now, and thanks for the hugs yesterday. 0 -
