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 i did my weekly phone call to mum last night.
Things are a bit stressful and upsetting for me at the moment and i told mum all about it and i started crying.
She made no noise.
I ended up getting quite upset and said "i dont know why i bother to do these calls as you never make any noise for me anymore and they are just making me feel worse".
She made no noise.
Later that night i called dad and asked how mum was and he said, well she was alright while you were on the phone to her wasnt she.
I said "how the heck would i know, she makes no sound. She doesnt even cry anymore even when im crying to her on the phone."
His response was "Why are you crying on the phone?"
I said "Ive got a lot going on thats stressing and upsetting me lately"
He said ' "Dont know why you would be stressed or upset, youve got life easy"
To that i kinda exploded saying "Just because im not there going through what you are, doesnt mean my life is any easier. It doesnt mean i dont have hard times. It doesnt mean i cant be upset. It doesnt mean i cant have other things going on that are upsetting me".
Things were a bit tense after that and we hung up not long after

thankyou for your kind words libby and flame.
Last nights call with him did go better because i didnt bother trying to talk about any of my problems.
Its just hard, when i was having problems with things, i would talk to Mum.
I miss that
