4 weeks on, my mum is making slow and steady progress, particularly over the past few days - dare I say she has turned a corner?
Anyway it's looking good for myself and faithful travelling companion for our planned short break to Copenhagen in just over three weeks time. In an ideal world I would have been there for ESC week but the rip-off hotel prices would have blown our holiday budget for the year (and beyond). It was a difficult decision to make, but eventually we decided to hit the Danish capital a couple of weeks after ESC.
The flights were booked some time ago, but now we will need to book a hotel. After some considerable research over the past couple of weeks, I'm none the wiser. What's the best area to stay in, for a short break to Copenhagen? All helpful suggestions welcome :))

Some small steps forward, some small steps back
Mum continues to amaze me with her recovery, considering how seriously ill she was two weeks ago. For such a frail little thing, she is such a fighter. Over the past week she has made incredible progress, however there was an unexpected setback this week which has required medical attention. Anyway, the nurses are in every day for monitoring visits, and she continues to get the rest and relaxation which she needs.

8 days later
After 8 days in hospital, mum is home, and I am happy.
However, it is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another: the recovery. Which is going to take a bit of time, due to her lack of mobility and general state of health. But on the plus side, out go the hospital visiting marathons :) Now she is home, and no-one's clock-watching and she can recover at her own pace, in her own time.
As for me, being my mum's carer is a pleasure and a privilege, so it's all good :))
