Hiya,
well..........so much a for a 9 day holiday. I suffered with severe back ache for the whole time, plus a good cold which turned out to be virul pneumonia, wonderful!!. Spent almost the whole time in bed, and certainly indoors. Didn't do anything or go anywhere because Pauline isn't strong enough to handle Steven and his wheelchair (especially now that she herself has lost a lot of weight, she is now officially 4kgs below her recommended BMI). Steven insisted he was fine, being away from the hospital atmosphere and noise. We ate take-away pizza, burger, and fis and chips, much different to hospital food. Thank goodness for Barbra, Rene, and Pablo, all popping round to cheer up Steven, thank you, and thank you for a marvellous barbie. So...... no changes at all, except for a toothache for Steven, an infection of the nerves probably caused by lack of maintainence in the first 4 months or so, when we couldn't clean his teeth at all. Anti-biotics have removed the pain. We returned to the hospital, only for Steven to catch my cold, will it never end?? He put up with it for 3 days then gave in and spent 2 days in bed and not going to physio'. Steven is still in pain from his hip. He continues to try to walk, but until he gets some pain-management in whatever form it takes, it's going to continue to be slow work. So all in all no changes.
best regards
Terry
