The only way is up !! right?

I have been so quite on the blog front. The only reason I can think of is that i'm so exhausted physically, emmotional and mentally.

I had been offered some hope about getting the car on the road again but I think they were just teasing me. It is just too expensive and not at all cost effective to fix it. I'm now on the hunt for anything with 4 wheels and that works!!

My mum who is nearly 80 had a very bad fall 2 weeks ago. She feel over on a dodgy step leading out into the garden and has broken her hip!! Anything happening to my mum effects me badly as we are so close and effectionate. Thinking of my mum lying in the garden in such pain whilst my useless father sat in his chair not bothering to check if she was alright just makes my blood boil. In fact I only talked to him very briefly this week for the first time since the fall. I was concerned I might say something to him which would just make the whole situation worse. Anyway back to the condition of my mum. Well they did an 'emergency' hip operation 4 days later in the hospital and replaced the shaft of the femur with a titanium replacement and titanium ball joint. She's in a lot of pain. I think its hard on her especially as she had a stroke last year, and has not got full movement on her 'good' leg and suffers from drop foot. Its been tough getting to the hospital as my parents live on the east side of London. A friend took me up the day after the accident which was very helpful. Then Dave saved my life and offered me use of his car for the week, so I was able to see her! He said something very true to me and that was 'mams are special'.

Thanks again to Dave the Delmonti man again for that, and my mum says to thank you too from her!!

I think i'll finish this blog now and save the upbeat stuff for another time. (its not all been bad) I'd like to dedicate this to my beautiful mum who never scrimps on showing me love. (i'm struggling now) Here's a photo of her from when she was in hospital last year. (ironic dont you think)
