They Don't Make Them Like They Use To.

My mom, a tuff cookie and very proud of her. She is 99 yrs, had six children. Just before Christmas she had an heart attack, spent three weeks in hospital, most of that time spent waiting for a care package to be put in place, now back out, walking well on two sticks, looking after herself, and not a moan or groan to be heard. :0)

Sorry to hear she's lost her voice :-)
Good wishes for her speedy recovery.

A tough cookie indeed teacake. My dad was 90 when he broke his hip. A couple of weeks after he came home from hospital I couldn't get an answer at his door. Eventually went round the back and there he was hoeing the garden with one hand while holding on to his zimmer with the other. Like your mum he never complained, just got on with things.
Hardy breed! All to best to your mum.

Amazing! I hope she has a few more years with you. My Father in law was the same, same spirit, that is. That generation, were /are an extraordinary strong stock..

I think its to do with attitude as well teacake -older folks were just bred to 'get on with it'. My friend who is 92 was rushed to hospital last week, Blues & Twos, had an emergency pacemaker fitted and emailed me today to arrange to go out for lunch next week.

Good for your Mum! As has been said - a generation bred to 'get on with it'. My grandson whimpers if he gets a tiny cut on his hand! He gets short shrift from me. :) Hope she has yet more time to spend with you.

Thanks all! Her first job was with Tesco in 1936, age 15, she became assistant manager at the same store at 19. :0)

Thanks everyone. She rang me this morning and asked me to get her some faggots for dinner, but must be fresh ones, not frozen. :0)

That’s so good to hear Teacake, she really does sound like she’s made of strong stuff, good on her

[teacake44]

Yep Bobbs, not much, if anything as ever put her down, I've told her to stop messing the NHS about, and make up her mind if she's coming or going. :0) She still keeps up with the daily news, and said Harry needs to pull his socks up and do his job, and put the past behind him. As regards to the EU, she said its taking longer to sort this than it took us to get rid of Hitler. :0) :0)

[Bobbisox1]

I like your Mum x

[jourdain2]

Me too - would she like to come to tea?
