    Surely a district nurse should have been attending to administer morphine.

    Hope your mum makes a quick recovery. Take care and don’t forget to pace yourself as much as you can 👍

    I'll be honest Beanie I am quite shocked.  I had what seems a much less serious/intrusive op (hip replacement) 18 months ago & would have had 10 days district nurse visits for dressings if the scar hadn't totally healed in 8.  I confess I would not like the responsibility.

    Must admit I’m not keen. I’m also seriously worried about how the sling will go back on after showering. I suppose we will just muddle through.
