Hi Ladies, thank you so much for your feedback & I'm so glad that @kezmusc your treatment has gone ok for you & you were able to do most of your usual things.
Mum is very diligent at reading everything the Dr's give her. Unfortunately, she's not online, so unable to access services like shopping that would make things easier for both of them. I'm happy to do online shopping for her, but she's funny about her card details etc going online.
I was able to go down for her first surgery, which she did so well, we were out most days enjoying the sunshine!! I couldn't go down for her second surgery & she probably needed more help that time.
I will be going down in the school holidays & hopefully be able to go down fortnightly after that, but it's always when i'm not there one them has a fall or there is some dramatic problem & she nearly always calls me first. I have a sibling & step/siblings, however, their availability is limited & only one is reliable. She hasn't really told many people, however, she has had some offers of help, so I hope she takes them up on it.
mealtrain.com looks very handy, so I'll discuss that with her & I can make the orders.
I'm glad I found this group, I must admit I feel a bit stressed about it all myself & it would be much easier if I lived down there.
Thanks again ladies - I am bound to drop in again & ask some more questions.
All the best to each of you with your journeys,
kindest regards
