Sounds hopeful that it will happen tonight then.
You have coped brilliantly Misdee and I am sure you will continue to do so. XXX

hub2dee · 04/07/2005 13:25

So, in addition to mamma misdee, it'll be nurse misdee before you know it, hey - as if you didn't already feel like a medic IYSWIM !

I'm sure all the bandage / battery /other techniques they will teach you will be taught well, and you will have ample opportunity to ask millions of questions, and to probably practice in the time they keep him in hospital. Once home, I am sure things will come together well and you will find the care something you can handle. I am sure of that. And of course, with time, Peter will be building up strength too.

Hugs misdee. X

hub2dee · 04/07/2005 13:26

Hey, and if you don't feel so damned sure you can handle it all, come here to have a rant and a sob and a moan, OK ?

X

misdee · 04/07/2005 13:27
