Hang in there, all of you. And I'd suggest a different photo each day for Kirsten...something to look forward to and to ponder.brattcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382428477056833533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-63750468111718991242011-08-07T19:06:26.989+10:002011-08-07T19:06:26.989+10:00Winged pillows are good.

We did this by putting a roll of towels underneath the pillow on the side where her head would flop to. So it was almost like folding the pillow around her head.<br /><br />When Jane had her brain surgery, her face was so swollen I actually walked straight past her when she was sitting in the Discharge Lounge, waiting for me to pick her up. They had said 'some swelling' but, like Kirsten, her eyes looked sunken in her sockets when in reality, her entire face was swollen and blue.<br /><br />I hope Kirsten continues to improve but she'll also needs plenty of rest, both physically and mentally.Endless Waterfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736904463929984844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-45984600319671686892011-08-07T19:00:22.413+10:002011-08-07T19:00:22.413+10:00That CI is a strange image for a hospital room, no...That CI is a strange image for a hospital room, not uplifting ... even for a country person longing to go home.<br /><br />I feel the tensions in your story ... my heart goes out to you all.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-34046146068228333952011-08-07T14:22:26.486+10:002011-08-07T14:22:26.486+10:00That's a good idea - a winged pillow.

The poor girl. How clever is that little grand daughter of yours? Fox can put the phone to his ear and say something that sounds very much like Hello! But when I say hello to him over the phone he clams up.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550214407269277609.post-40304933439285361202011-08-07T08:52:07.899+10:002011-08-07T08:52:07.899+10:00Hephaestus?
