Great news for my mum
My mum has been in a hospice since suffering a broken neck following a fall from her hospital bed, she became quadraplegic as a result.This was back in September when they gave her a matter of weeks to live.
The hospice were to administer palliative care for the remainder of her short life.
She's a tough lady and refused to give in, since then she has moved her right arm, only when she's lying down, she can move her hand across the bed and perform figure of 8 movement.
Today I've been informed that a place is available for her at a top intensive physio therapy unit and she will be an inpatient from Wednesday.
Happy days.

She is.She was paraplegic but she could move everything except her legs
She still did gardening, cooking, cleaning and sewing.
As she said "I just replaced my useless legs with wheels"
Unfortunately she was taken to hospital for an x-Ray on her shoulder and staff didn't secure the cot side on the trolley, this gave way and she fell, hitting her head on the tiled floor breaking her neck

It'll be a lot easier to visit.At the moment I visit twice a day to feed her(a bit of dignity for her)which involves 35 miles of battling traffic everyday(major by-pass road works).
Now she'll be about 2 miles away so I'll have more time with her.
My plan is to have her home with me by Christmas.

That's brilliant. As you say, it will be so much easier to visit her.
It will no doubt give her more comfort too.
