Khatt if she is fit and healthy she has a good chance! Doctors always seem to prepare you for the worst and there are so many stories of people being given one month to live and surviving another ten years! Never give up hope, because that is what causes us to fail.

I lost my grandmother last year, right after I came back from Towersey. That hurt badly as she had gone into hospital with a broken leg and died of an MRSA infection. Apparently the hip operation she had had three months previously was a botched job and they had to re-do it. However it was something like two weeks before they could schedule it and by then she had a very nasty infected pressure sore. An air mattress would have prevented that but the operation was always going to be "tomorrow" so there wasn't any need for one!
A month before she had come up to Dundee from Essex with my mother to watch me graduate from university, the first of her grandchildren to do so. That is how I will remember her, very very proud of me and what I had achieved. She told me how much my grandfather would have loved watching me as well. These are the things we should always remember about our family!
Brightest blessings,
Crystal
