This thread is dedicated to my Mother and her recovery.
On Monday the 4th June 2007, while holidaying in the UK with my Father, my Mother was struck by a van while crossing the road.
Mum spent 88 days in various UK hospitals before finally being brought home back to Australia on the 30th August 2007.
She is currently in The John Whittle Nursing Facility with brain damage
I have set up this thread to keep you all updated on her condition and her improvements and hopefully one day, Mum will be able to read it.

Amy, you know how much D and I care and you know our age group.

Hang in there Lady, trying to cope when other people can't/wont see it hurts like hell

Hi Grace,
The nursing home wash Mums nightgowns.
Mum has been put on the outpatients list for Lourdes Hospital (The brain injury unit in Dubbo). but she stays at the Nursing Home as thats a different facility.
I dont really know what it means thats shes been made an outpatient of the BIU. I mean she was never admitted to there as they always said she was not well enough for it.
I guess it means they wont bother checking up on her condition anymore....not that they did that much anyway

Spoke to Dad last night.
No changes in Mum.
He was still a bit down as the lady in the room next to Mum died last weekend.
He has had to have his car in for repairs this week. It went in on Tuesday, so to get up to Mum everyday, he has walked.
Its a long walk. Takes him and hour and a half.
My sister drops him home after she finishes work.
She rang me last night as well.
She says she has found it really depressing dropping dad home at night and watching him go into the dark house alone.
