I live in hope its one like this!

It’s been a very difficult time for both my wife and I I am currently in a nursing home in Peterlee and still unable to stand or walk - I’ve been in and out of hospitals on what seems a regular basis. I’m having a miserable time of it to put it mildly and she has been in and out of hospital on...

Tried to retain a positive glass half full attitude but it sometimes very difficult in those dark hours before the dawn Apart from the ability to walk again, my main object is the carrot on the end of the stick is to drive bye 30 5IS was again. Hand controls are available for about £500

I thoroughly understand how she feels I am in a similar position I think I will have to finance my wife’accommodation in a worst case scenario I use the term scare Homes don’t care and scare me to death!! We must live with hope! I should add this. Sounds like you think your mother is old...
