Blog 3, Not so much Life in the Algarve
Oh, Yes, Now where was I;

Sorry it been some time since the last blog, been spending a busy few weeks over in the UK................

Had to make some decisions on the motorhome this month and as it needed an MOT, it was a good time to have a trip back to the UK. Coupled with the fact that Mum is going into hospita after her fall in November, when she smashed her face against a brick wall. After xrays and scans at the new Derby Royal SUPER hospital the same day, she was passed ok with no further damage. However, after complaining of severe neck pain for the following 4 months, she was sent back for a further xray. This time when viewing the xray, it was clear there was a fracture to the odontoid peg, which if you are unfortunate enough to be hanged, is the part of the neck that the hangman looks to SNAP. After complaining to the hospital, a review of the initial xrays clearly shows the fracture that the radiographers missed and even Stevie Wonder would have seen it, what totally incompetant useless wasserks, I feel a compenstaion claim coming on.
Since finding the fracture Mum has been walking around in something akin to what Jenson Button wears during his racing sessions until she goes into hospital to have a screw or plate fitted this week and as she has not been into hospital since having me 58 and a bit years ago, she is understandably terrified.
Anyway, the operation went well and Mum handled it brilliantly, going into hospital on the Tueday and being sent home on the Friday, as they don't like you in over the weekend if they can help it.
It is now 3 weeks since the operation, she is still in constant pain and there doesn't seem to be any benefit just yet.
