Anyone reading this Blog will probably be aware that my Dad fell and broke his leg on his 90th birthday back in March, and has been in hospital ever since with a variety of ailments acquired there. Four weeks ago he was well enough to move from the Acute Hospital where he was to a Community Hospital about 10 minutes from his home. Altogether, that's four months in hospital!
Well, last Monday he finally came home!!! It was so great to see him back in familiar surroundings even if he does still look a bit frail (he's not usually your frail type!) This week has been quite hard for my mother, trying to establish a new routine at home - no more hospital visiting, but a husband at home who still needs considerable help and support - and as she is 89 years old herself, this is no sinecure. Which is why I have spent this past week living at their house, trying to be of some use, and the dogs have 'enjoyed' being in day-care at the local kennels. How they are going to manage remains to be seen........
That is fantastic news Brenda :)
