As most of you would know , i been back down to see my mum.I was so please to get there and see her again ,she didn't remember me at frisrt and it hurt me .The next when i went back to see her she remeber me  and was having a great day. the doctors are please with her progress and how quick she is coming along with getting her speach back but theres still along way to go with it as she not speaking clear as yet ,but you can made out some words.

Mum had her frist shower  while i was there  and we were able to take her in the wheel chair down stairs to get fresh air. The swelling  is going down  a fair bit and now she strating on soft food  and allowed to have tea or coffee with thicker in it  so she doesn't choke . Over all things are looking good  as the Doctor said but, her speach might remind the same   , but as far as walking go she be able to walk with aided of a walking frame and wheel chair if going out all day.

My stay in melbourne was diffrent this time as i had to catch trains and trams  and boy that was  a real eye opener , I can't get over  the over crawling and how many poeple pick there nose  on the train  and how young the kids were catching the train going to school . as  some be no older then 7 years old .The markets were great  and pick up few good bargins there .

Well I got some more bad news  on train while reading the paper , the policeman  that was shot  in brisbane  was  a relation of ours .It was shock to me and my sister as we just buried his bother  lee last year and buriing brett a year and 10 days  later .So in one way its been good but in a other way with this news its was  sad  as well .On top of all this  we just find out though opening mum mail that someone has stolen her details and taken out  a loan or a viasa card in her name .The bank couldn't told us any more until monday so my sister going in  with mum new husband to sort things out when the office is open.

Well i please to be back home and get some rest as it tried me out a fair bit , bit it was worth it . My plain was delay  up to hr and got in at midnight  last night . All flights out of melbourne  was delay all day and poeple from brisbane  flight went to perth than to melbourne  , so i was lucky that i got out of melbourne and straight home , even if it  was late .

Want be here for a few days , as going to melbourne today  to see my mum again. By the sounds of things i am going to freeze my bottom even worst then before lol. Well ladies i catch up with you all when i get back , so all take care and have a week .
