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.

So remember dad had a solicitor looking into whether there was a compensation case?
Well, i heard back and yes, they say there is.
They want to go after BlackPool Council for the dangerous pedestran conditions and they want to go after the drivers insurance.
They are a no win no fee solicitor.
They would only take on a case like this if they are sure they can win and they have been looking into it for over a year now.
They think it will more then likely settle out of court.
But, dad has to sign that, if they loose, he is able to cover the opposing legal fees. Which could be about $100 000.
So, he will have to sell his house if they loose.
At first i was against it, but now im not.
dad feels he is doing nothing and this is something that will help him feel like he hasnt given up.
He knows it wont make mum better, but he thinks, if they win, he could get her physio everyday, a better wheelchair and maybe some trips out of the home.
And if he looses, well, he doesnt care cause he knows Mum will never be going home.
He doesnt have anything to loose. He has lost everything that was important to him already
