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.

Dad says Mum is starting to come good again. I thought she might when the weather got better.
The terrible thing is, i think all of us (me, my sis and dad) are all a bit bummed by this.
Will it be another full spring and summer for her? And then another miserable winter? And then another year and another year and another year etc.
Will it ever end?

I don't think it's terrible Amy: you want the best for your Mumโฅ
Perhaps you could speak to a Palliative Care specialist? They help care for people with life-limiting illnesses & their families.
I doubt there is one in Dubbo. There isnt even a physiotherapist in the nursing home.
thanks piggy, but the Dubbo Base Hospital have actually been of no help to us at all.
When Mum first arrived there they were very pushy to get her out of the hospital and into a home as fast as possible.
The "specialists" there have been very unhelpful and in some cases, quite rude to Dad.
Once a patient is booted out of their doors, they offer no help or support to them anymore.
Lourdes Hospital also offer Palliative Care in Dubbo but they treated Mum and Dad terrible. They assessed Mum very early on to see if she could go into their care for rehabilitation. They walked in the room and told Mum to lift her arm, when she didnt, they walked out and told dad "No, she is not ready for rehab. She will have to go into a home".
