THE SAGA OF MUM'S CHAIR

 


THE SAGA OF MUM’S CHAIR

When Mum went into the Nursing Home she took her reclining chair, which was in her room for two years. In the lounge she wasn’t putting her feet up and her legs were swollen, so we moved her chair downstairs.

All was fine till my brother thought it had been removed for general use. He almost accused the staff of theft – he asked Mum, who got upset – he told the Home to move it back.

Today the manager tells me she’s spoken to Mum, who wants it left in the lounge between her two best friends.

Now I must tell my brother.

A true story this week, and how I managed to condense it into 100 words is a mystery! I am now about to go and see Mum - after taking my compulsory lateral flow test - so I'll have to sign off, after a quick thank to Dale for the photo and Rochelle for the FF site.

    1. He didn't know, you're quite right, but it got Mum agitated. All better now!

  11. It's good to hear that your mum is happy and content, and the chair placed between her two friends is a lovely, poignant detail. Isn't it great when real life gives us inspiration for a story? Well told.

  13. It's so easy to assume that older people want their decisions making for them. Good one.
