My Mums update thread

[daydream**believer]

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.

BOO

remember me?

long time no post.

How are you all?

My life has been crazy, but first an update on Mum

No change. Can you believe its been nearly 9 years and shes still the same.

9 years. Its unbelievable really,

Im hoping to get to see her soon, but other set backs are delaying that.

Set back 1- I left my husband 2 months ago. I should of left him years ago but better late than never. The kids and i moved into a small timber rental and have never been happier. Im finding me again. I lost myself a long, long time ago. Its gonna be a mean and messy divorce but im getting stronger everyday am ready for the fight.

Set back 2- i had a full elbow reconstruction last weekend. Had a fall at work 9 weeks ago and pretty much wrecked every part of my left elbow. So now im in a full arm brace, unable to move it at all, or drive for 6 weeks. Then will be doing at least 6-8 months of weekly physio.

I will say though, if youre going to completely destroy a body part, do it at work. Work cover have been fantastic

Hello again DD.

I'm so sorry that you have been going through such a rough time:  for you though, there will be a silver lining in those clouds and once everything settles down, I hope all your dreams really do come true and many doors will swing open once again for you xxx

Good on you. 

You sound strong and I'm sure future days will only be sunnier for you.

Hi daydream. Sorry to hear about your mum. It sounds like you made the right decision by leaving your marriage. I don't know what made me drop in here today. I have fond memories of most of the time I spent here. It seems very quiet compared to those days though. 😊

This morning at around 1am my mother passed away.

i thought I was prepared for this but my heart is hurting and the tears won't stop.

My only comfort is that after a long 8 year battle, she has finally found peace.

RIP Mum. I love you and will miss you

So sorry daydream. It was the anniversary of my mum's death yesterday. You can never be prepared for it. I miss my mum every single day.

Amy I am sad for you, I know your Mum's passing was coming, and how upset you were that she was living in the state she was in, but, at the end of the day, you have still lost your beloved Mum and it is heartbreaking.

Big year for you but you sound strong, hope all your problems resolve themselves.
