A week of mixed emotions

Firstly the good news is that hubs foot is now completely better and he has been discharged from the care of the nursing staff.  

I remember saying in a couple of posts back that I have learnt to expect the unexpected and this week certainly echoed that thought.     An elderly uncle of mine passed away which was completely unexpected.   While he was 91 and physically quite frail he was not terminally ill and his sudden passing was a complete shock to all the family and medical staff at the nursing home.  

He never accepted his move into the nursing home nearly 12 months ago and even though he was grateful for the care and attention given to him by the staff he was very unhappy.    It was upsetting to visit him each week so for this I am grateful that he was released  from his anguish but sad that he is no longer in our lives.  

Rest in Peace


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Good news on your husband's recovery status; sad to hear of your Uncle's passing. My Mom spent years in a Nursing Home and she was very unhappy too--so I can empathize on how difficult it is to visit under those trying circumstances..We do the best we can for our families...hugsx2 Julierose
