Hi everyone its Leeann
I know its been months but i just thought i would send you an up date. We went to the appointment on Thursday at the RAH to see the surgeon, Sadly it wasn't the news we wanted to hear, they have decided not to do the second surgery as it will be far to risky for mum after all the complications she had after the last big surgery she had last time, over 13hrs, It was a bit of a blow as we were thinking she will be going back in to get a date to have all the cement and rod taken out and another knee put in so mum will now permitly have cement and a rod in her leg and will not be able to bend it again, she will now be restricted on things she can do for the rest of her life, this will also mean we need to make changes around the house. They want to see her again in 6 months times. At the moment we are all trying to come to terms with this news. It has been a very very long 8 months we are very drained emotionally, physically and mentally. I do not at this point think we will be doing Friday night lives again or for some time, it is taking a lot out of me looking after mum, running around for them but i would not have it any other way. I have just started getting back into flowers as they don't take up much time. Thank you everyone for your years of support this decision doesn't come easy as i loved what i was doing but my mum comes 1st , ill still post some of the flowers and if we open for events eg mother's day and Christmas etc. Thank you
