Hope you are back home now but it's not good that you are having to do everything single handed . Here where I am anybody elderly gets a up to 6 week care package after surgery if needed. Please ask for help because you need to look after yourself as well.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

Echoing what the others have said Beanie - you need some sort of help with your mum. I hope you are home and in bed by now, although there's never any guarantee of that with A&E. Take it gently today.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Hope you're OK Lou? (((hugs)))XXXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy2 -
So sorry you had a fall , hopefully things get a bit easier from here on in xx2
