I think most of the people on Facebook by now know that my mother is in
hospital. She was losing the feeling in her hands and feet, and when
the carpal tunnel op didn't work, the doctors looked elsewhere for the
problem and discovered that she has/had spinal compression, presumably
as a result of bony growths caused by arthritis. She was operated on
last week Wednesday, and has started regaining feeling in her legs,
though not in her hands, and has managed to walk a bit.
On Tuesday night she was in considerable pain, which, to add insult to
injury, was a result of gall stones!!! But last night when I spoke to
her on Skype she seemed more cheerful, though frustrated at having to
stay in bed. I know she's missing her newsgroups!

prayers and good thoughts her way. I hope her hands respond soon - my
Mum has the same problem, so I know how awfully depressing it is!
Hopefully, we'll be hearing from Joyce herself before too long. :D

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?
Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

She's out of hospital, and was put into a rehab centre. They then sent

her home as the Medical Aid wasn't willing to pay for it, but after a
few days at home they decided they could! So she's back in the rehab
centre, where she is forced to exercise, which is good for her! I
thought she didn't have email, but apparently she does, and she'd love
to hear from you all. She's on joyceRE...@africanbush.co.za
I don't speak to her as often as I'd like, on Skype, because I'm not
always available when she is.
