  So, she is lying on the bed and wants to sit upright on it.  A task which an abled bodied person would perform, by just lifting their head and torso up into a sitting position, while pressing their bum on the bed, as they put their your feet on the floor.  Then place their weight evenly on both feet and lift or propel themselves off the bed.  For my dear mother, the process is more complex, and, whereas the able-bodied person will be carrying out the process automatically without thinking about each of the processes.  She will have to be thinking about each of the individual tasks in the process and coordinate them with the physical actions involved. My dear mother is at risk of falling, due to her over-balancing, misjudging distances, failing to catch an object she intended to hold onto to help with her balancing.  She might knock into things she has not noticed and processed, she might trip on things, or she might move too fast in trying to gain momentum and overdo it.  These thing

  I am not so sure. There is, I believe, a balance to be achieved, and that the practice of 'taking precautions' by automatically referring or conveying physically vulnerable and elderly people to hospitals.   To have further medical checks, can be overdone and even become abusive and stressful.  We do have concerns when young children fall, but the hospitals would be inundated if every young child were to be automatically taken to A&E departments every time have a fall.  It makes sense to be guided by the expertise of the paramedics, and for their to be a period of monitoring after a fall, to see if any initially hidden harm will become visible.  Unless, of course, there are indications of injury at the time of the initial examination, which requires the person to be taken to the hospital for further examination and/or treatment. The issue of my dear mother having falls, is currently a big one, as she has had others since the one mentioned above.  The challenge is that of

  That was averted when Kazaliwa rang his parents and informed them of the situation.  With them not wanting him to risk or do something that could breech his parole license, they decided to drive to out into the country to find him.  Having agreed that they would rendezvous at a supermarket.  Which they did. In the course of time, this incident would lose some its details for Mfanyazaki.  Although he would vaguely recall meeting his son's then, ex-boss, in the the supermarket's car park.   And having had a brief and amiable conversation with him.  Before Kazaliwa went into the supermarket and either him or his mother, Nzuri, bought him something to eat.  After which the got into the car and endeavoured to find their way home, along an unknown, to them, route. Mfanyazaki would also think he could remember him and his son having some rather fraught conversation on the return journey.  Partly because  he did not agree with Kazaliwa's then, to him, seemingly rash action, and t

  And yet, we should not be so caught-up in feeling jubilation for Camp Mercedes or indignation and anger in Camp Red Bull.  In case we become oblivious to the fact that, at the end of the race, the damage which has been done has been mostly to Max's car.   And  to the perceptions the racers and teams have about each other, and the people have about Hamilton and Verstappen.  What we now know is that Lewis has very strong feelings about what he sees as Max's tendency to race aggressively.   And Lewis feeling that he has on too many occasions been 'disrespected' by Max in how he interacts with Lewis on the circuits.  It seems clear to  me that Lewis has had enough of, as he sees it, Max trying to race him over or push him off the circuit.  Lewis has accepted that there was a time when he used to race aggressive, and those of us who have seen him race in his younger years, will be able to attest to that fact.  So, the Verstappen fans might ask, why should Lewis now be taki

  When I rang the relevant ambulance service, expecting that that they would surely know which of their vehicle had my dear mother in it and where they had or were taking her, they were unable to give me that information. My dilemma was only resolved when, not long after ringing the ambulance service, a call came through on my dear mother's landline, which I answered.  The caller gave me his name and and the name of the hospital he was calling from, which was not the usual one.  He then sought confirmation that I was my dear mother's son, before asking about her medical history.  I advised him that I did not want her to be subjected to any painful procedures, and he said he would inform the doctor and that they would get back to me later. It was fortuitous that I happened to be in my dear mother's apartment when the call came through. Was it really necessary or essential for my dear mother to be taken to A&E on that occasion and be subjected to whatever anxieties she ha

  For Camp Red Bull, it was a case of 'we have been robbed.' It was a case of 'Max had been unfairly tripped and raced over by Lewis.' Horner found himself unable to contain himself and became nearly incandescent with self-righteous anger and indignation.  Unable to exercise due caution or diplomacy; to give himself more thinking and reflection time.  He found himself thinking with his tongue, which, to be fair, as did many others.  Both people in the Formula 1 industry and lay people who just like to watch and enjoy the races.  People who have become addicted and some of whom have come to imagine themselves to be more knowledgeable about Formula 1 racing than they/we really are. It was a rather tense and highly charged situation, with both Horner and Toto contacting the stewards to let them know how each of them were seeing the incident.  Which was that their respective racer was right and the other was wrong.  Which meant that both Hamilton and Verstappen had not done

  They raced as it two competing demons had possessed them, with neither man willing to give an inch or centimetre, without insisting on reclaiming double what the had had to concede at the next available opportunity.  It was one of those occasions when survival seemed precarious, but at the same time, offered commensurate spoils.  Mind you, this was not a situation in which either Lewis or Max, could have guaranteed that any coming together of their mean machines w ould not have violently removed both of them from the race.   This, I believe, mean that we can surmise that, any coming together, would most probably be accidental, even if avoidable, but not intentional.   Indeed, Mercedes has since disclosed that that, had the race not been Red Flagged, Hamilton would have had to DNF, as his car would not have been sufficiently repairable. Be that as it may, the outcome of the spectacular collision was that Max's race ended very dramatically, and him having to be given evaluatory med
