Thank you everyone and yes David I found it rather difficult to look at myself, I think it will be a long slow recovery, but so far so good, she just finds normal things very hard to do, still has to keep off it all the time, my sister lives very close by less than two mins drive if that, so that is a blessing, she can be with her most of the time now that Nick has returned to work, I am sure she is finding it a bit lonely now he is back and my sister is at work in the mornings, thank goodness she has lovely Neo the kitty to keep her company, and my mother sent her a whole lot of video vouchers to redeem so she can watch some movies whilst recovering.,still I think she is getting mighty bored now.

She is not allowed to be left alone for more than two hours, according to the ACC assessment, this is a government department, that pays you eighty per cent of your wages, for physiotherapy, doctors fees at a reduced rate and they also provide things for the home and home help, luckily they decided to let my sister be her home help and pay her something instead, makes sense to me, Charlene would not like a complete stranger coming in her home and doing things, so that worked out well.

I will pass on all the kind thoughts to her and tell her everyone is thinking of her.
