After 40days in hospital my mother has finally come home. She fell and broke her hip on 23rd December, had a replacement hip operation on Boxing Day, but declined day by day until the 12th January, I called the family together to essentially say goodbye. She had pneumonia, lungs filling with fluid, (on oxygen), she'd stopped eating, stopped talking, her spindly legs blow up like balloons, he organs starting to shutdown. Yet
- little by little, day by day, she has made progress, so much so, that yesterday she was well enough to come home.
