after several weeks where my mother has sat on a hospital ward, waiting for one hour a week of speech therapy she is beinga llowed home.
Her speech has still not returned, but an alarm system has been fitted, so in an emergency, she simply presses a button and people are alerted to her plight.
I can go and pick her up from hospital tomorrow.
I’m not so stupid as to believe this is the panacea for all her ills. being at home will bring her new challenges and problems, but hopefully these will inspire her to improve her speech as soon as possible.
It’s progress at least, if not the end of the road.
I haven’t seen any new updates, and I was getting worried. How are things with your mom and your family?

Hi ZZ – progress on the speech front is slow, as I expected. BUT I’m proud of the way my mum is handling things. She’s not hiding away, but out there doing all the things she used to. She’s very frustrated, but I’m cerTain that I couldn’t remain as positive as she has been.
Many thanks for the thoughts and concerns.
