Mum’s new hip

Worked in Birmingham today and there is still the problem with the landslide so it’s not possible to get the train from Banbury straight to Birmingham, you have to get the bus to Leamington Spa – I can’t be bothered with that hassle so I drove and regretted it of course because it’s always a nightmare to hit the traffic on the outskirts. Got there in the end and was there about 8.30am. Decent day in the office, got loads done and also for other people, quite focussed which was good.

Didn’t have a break and worked straight through until 4.30pm and then came home, found a decent route and it took me about 90 mins to get home so quite pleasing! Had dinner as soon as I walked in so that Tash and I could go up to the Manor Private Hospital to see Mum.

She had her hip replacement operation done this morning. Derek had kept us updated throughout as she’d gone in at 10.30am for the op and was out by about 2.00pm. When we got there at 6.30pm Derek was there, he’d been there all day and we chatted etc to try and keep her company. She wasn’t in any sort of pain or drugged up and was perfectly comfortable so that was pleasing for all concerned obviously

We stayed for 2 hours and it was pleasant, she’s going to be there for 4-5 days and then about 6 weeks of rehab – going to be hard work for her really. It’s great that she’s managed to be in the Manor which is private and they’ll look after her really well.

Came home for 9.00pm so that the girls could watch the final episode of Broadchurch and the poster frames arrived for the posters I’d bought so Jack and I put them together and they look fantastic! Really pleased with them. See below!

I watched Broadchurch with them and then worked, loads to do and it wasn’t finished until 1.00am so that wasn’t ideal!

Seeing Chris Perkins tomorrow to get my back sorted and also received an email from the UK Blood people to thank me for the 25 sessions I’ve done – I was quite proud of that achievement. I should have done many more but there you go, it’s a start and incentive to continue
