Had she a twisted sense of humor she could have kept the urn with her and told people she did have two legs - one of them was just in the urn! I know, my bad ... sorry! <br /><br />I am very glad to hear that things went as well as they did even though I would have preferred they not go in that direction at all. Sounds like your Mum came through the surgery with her spirit and strength intact and that she's not going to take her recovery lying down. Huzzah for her and huzzah for you for facing this ordeal head-on like you have. <br /><br />Someday this whole experience is going to come in really handy for your Counseling Practice - mark my words!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-88004363630552997852009-09-30T04:47:56.352+01:002009-09-30T04:47:56.352+01:00Dear Claire,

You must all be emotionally exhausted. <br /><br />No ICU, already using her electric wheelchair and commencing physio - amazing! One step at a time mumborg goes on - a champion who is an outstanding courageous excellence.<br /><br />All my love and very best wishes to mumborg, Heather, your dad and you.

Definitely needs to be very mumborg style, I'm thinking a little Terminator feeling with the robotics?<br /><br />Anyway, take it easy on yourself while you get with the adjusting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
