Lovely mummy last week
My mother aged 90 who is also a great-grandmother, has always been a terrific fashionista. She's channeling Chanel here. Slightly arthritic (two replaced hips) and a minor stroke and a daily drug mix of seven tablets at different times. She copes so well with the (to me) bewildering mix of tabs, sorting out the 'before food' from the 'after food', and the 'dilute in water' from the rest. So well in fact that she recently caught out the Boots dispensary with two separate mistakes. (We go elsewhere now).
But tonight she is in the local hospital awaiting surgery tomorrow morning after a sudden recurrence of a hernia which was operated on last October. She had been distressed for a couple of days then suddenly experienced considerable pain, as I tried to ease her symptoms. Luckily the GP, who eventually made a house call, immediately called an ambulance and referred her back to the surgical unit at the hospital.
She is so brave and so sweet. I will visit tomorrow lunchtime-ish as soon as I am advised after her surgery.

Your mom is absolutely beautiful and I just can't believe she is 90!!!

Wow - so stylish and organised at 90! What a great role model. I hope she recovers quickly and is back giving those silly Boots dispensaries their what fors!
Ms Elegancemaison,
I've been reading your blog (hidden behind some court judgments) ... I'm quite enjoying it! And had to stop myself from endlessly scrolling through the days. I particularly liked your sewing posts. I'm an ordinary seamstress and get quite a thrill when I see someone who knows what they're doing.
I hope your mother's hospital stay and surgery turns out well.
Yours,
She looks amazing for 90.
Hope she has a speedy recovery from her op and she's home very soon :)
Best wishes to you and your Mummy Bx
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments and good wishes. Will post an update.
