Mum now back home...

Two days ago, Mum was discharged from Auckland Hospital and is now back in her Granny flat at the rear of our house. To be home in under 4 weeks was something I never thought was evenly vaguely possible at the time of her fall. She is obviously having to still nurse the hip at this early stage, but is able to get her self around inside her house with the help of a Zimmer frame.

She is very happy to be back in her own surroundings and have a lot more choice about her daily routines and activities. Nice not having the awful noises and dodgy activities of a couple of the others in the 4 -bed room she was in at the hospital. She is making her renowned morning porridge herself and enjoying it again. We're looking after her evening meals. She has help coming in 4 days a week to help her with showering and some cleaning on one of those days.

We are amazed at the bounce-back body she has demonstrated through this recent episode and very grateful for the way her progress has been enabled. It looks like we can reasonable expect a near full return to her previous level of mobility etc.

Cheers
Bruce
