    @joedenise I remembered to get the Bhuna put to defrost. MRM is going to make some Cauliflower rice and I got some mini Naans from ALDI to accompany. Naans are 6.5 Syns each.

    Thanks everyone.

    To say i was shocked was an under statement he looked like  POW, so so thin, you can see all his ribs if he is 7 1/2 stone that's all he is 😪😪

    They are saying he is medically fit , physio is working with him which we know as they have rang Mum a couple of times and asking are you sure you will cope? Mum said till he is home i don't know but if i can't we will have to re asses then. As he can walk with a frame. But of course she has not seen him for 10 days , he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his pants on and everything hanging out 😲😲she said why have you no clothes on? she said lets get these pj bottoms on, he started shouting No No! You know when a child goes rigid? just like that.

    She said Ok well lets put the sheet over you and put your top on, which he did. Then he is just shouting out all the time, but Mum got hold of his hand and he settled down, but then he was i want to be up, up shouting, he meant sitting up, so we sat him up put the bed up and instantly he slides himself back down 😫 Mum just kept saying to me how am i going to cope? then he starts shouting i am dying, i am dying, we said no you are not you are medically fit. Mum took his razor and said come on love you need a shave , Ok half and half he says? She says what do you mean half and half, he just shouted it again, she said let me try, so as she tried he is shouting and pushing her hand away. Anyway left in about another half hr and did most apart from his moustache .

    The he is shouting shorter version of Mum's name and i said she is here holding your other hand, i had his other hand, he says no **** which is my DH so he not confused there, i said oh he is at home as not everyone can come, he then settled down and slept, Mum tried to wake him when we was leaving but he was in a deep sleep. I said he will have a fot when he wakes up and we were not there but you are only allowed an hr and we was an hr and 20 mins.

    Everyday Mum rang to see how he was and does he need anything ? no he is fine, we get there today, no tissues, used them all, no juice, none of his biscuits or anything left not even a drink of water 😡 we was fuming, i went and asked for water and took his beaker and asked for it to be washed and they said he had just had a cup of tea, i said but no water? They said he keeps throwing it, what is so hard to put it in his beaker which has a lid on and move the jug?  😡

     Was so hard 😥😥

    I am so sorry bubbs to read that.

    Joedenise - I do remember someone mentioning about the Aldi sausages ages ago, but I think I had just forgotten about them.  I will try and remember to look for them next time I am in Aldi. 

    Speak to you all soon.
