Well it has been a rather hectic couple of weeks.

First in the week before last Elaine had 4 falls, all but one not really her fault. But they happened and we were very lucky that no physical injury resulted from them. She is however still sporting some substantial bruises and the resulting discomfort.

Then last week 2 falls, this time because my darling wife believes that she is bullet proof and does things that should be referred to me. Again no damage beyond bruising.

Then on Sunday she came down with another major UTI. It had probably been brewing for a bit but there were no obvious signs. At least not that I noticed. However on Sunday daughter Toni noticed dehydration, after I had called for help. Then when I called again later in the day she sensed a high temperature. So we got our favourite doctor Geoff involved and she finished up back in Hollywood hospital.

Hopefully I will get her back by the weekend because neither of us like her being away from home.

Hi it looks like I have been slack again and neglected to do a blog for nearly 3 weeks.

Not a lot has happened, but we have been fairly busy. Elaine’s knees have been giving her hell since she got out of hospital in January, getting more painful by the day. It got to the point that she was in tears trying to stand up but ok, or more or less ok, when she was up on her feet. Anyway no one had any helpful suggestions so we requested from our go and arranged a CT scan to see what was going on. Then last Thursday when Silver Chain was here I asked about anti-inflamatories which seemed to have been removed from the medication list. After some discussion it was agreed that we could restart the anti-inflamatories that had been discontinued in January. The result is a spectacular improvement, hooray. Then to top it off we had a good result from the scan.

So we are back on track and madam is doing lots of things that have been off the adgenda since January.
