BLOGGER IS DRIVING MUM FLIPPING CRAZY

Mum tried twice this week to post and both times blogger ate it. She also had to type that sentence twice cost blogger ate it first time!! She was trying to blog about all the problems she had about the new chair she bought. The salesman told mum she was buying a power chair. When it arrived, it was NOT a power chair. After several calls back and forth to the store -- the salesman told mum HE had made a mistake and the model she bought did not come in a power chair -- the only model similar in style would be $500 more!!!!!! His manager told mum that she could get a power lift chair for a little less than she had paid, but it would be 10-12 inches narrower. The main reason mum liked this chair was because of the width. Well, yesterday she spoke to another manager at the store. He went and tried out the model mum had bought. He also ran into the same "stiffness" problems mum had. He told her that it would "wear in". She immediately thought of the BritCom Are you being served where they are always telling the customer "It'll ride up with wear". Does anyone else watch that program and remember the comment? Well cos mum is going into hospital on Monday, she has decided to keep it for now and see what happens. This has been a very stressfull week for mum cos when she scheduled her surgery, the scheduler told her that she would be released from the hospital after 3 or 4 days to go home. Mum remembers after her original knee replacement she was in for almost 3 weeks (1 in surgical hospital and 10 days in rehab). The surgeon told her that what she is having now (revision total replacement) is more painful, etc., so mum was really worried. Uncle Vic has told her she can stay there with me, but he does not have a bed yet, and so she really didn't want to. Fortunately, when she went for pre-surgery testing on Wednesday, they told her that would not be the case, and that she would be go to rehab!!!! Krysta is going to take me over to Uncle Vic's on Sunday cos mum has to leave REALLY early on Monday!!! Mum is taking me for a visit to the vet tomorrow to check on my valley fever. BTW -- Abby Lab's mum -- thanks for the GoFundMe donation. I did get a notification from them, and it will go into my checking account soon. If anyone else would like to help me out, it would be really appreciated. The visit tomorrow is probably gonna cost me almost $200 and then her meds. Someone told mum about a program that Walgreens has where she paid for a membership and my meds will cost less. Unfortunately with the problems with the battery onn her chair, she has not been able to get there. She has to have an MRI on her neck this afternoon and the van will drop her off near Walgreens, so she is gonna go in there. The service tech was supposed to come out today to change the batteries, but he got sick so is coming tomorrow afternoon!! Mum has so much to take care of before going in the hospital. Krysta is gonna take care of my kitty sistahs and, as I said, Uncle Vic is gonna take care of me. Hopefully the wi fi at this hospital is working properly so she can make posts and read all of your posts!! Well, someone will be over shortly so mum has said I have to end this now. Hope to be posting again soon. ttfn and toodle pip Cookie

  1. We are hoping that the new knee surgery goes well and the recovery isn't too bad. Will this give your mom better mobility? We sure hope so! Maybe a squirrel got into your blogger?

    Keep Calm & Bark On!

    I work on the theory that Blogger can 'feel' when we are in a low area and starts to test us out!!! Tell mum that good ol' advice of taking deep breaths and sitting back for 20 seconds can work wonders! POTP to mum for all the healings! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
