Just under a month ago mum's operation, to give her a knew knee, was cancelled but yesterday she had it done. So the NHS has, so far, come up trumps.
What I find amazing is that when I called this afternoon she was out of bed sitting in a chair. How do they do that? Somehow it doesn't seem natural but at least she will be able to look after me when I visit.
About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.

Glad to hear it. A relief for both of you.
Glad the op went well!
We would be interested in updates on progress because this is the op that Richard is facing but he is wary of giving the go ahead....

All I can say is that if mum, who is 86, can do it then Richard should find it straightforward. They appear to get you moving very quickly and my understanding is that she is already moving around with the help of a zimmer. I'll know more when I get to England next week.
