Hiya,
coming to the end of a week's "holiday" with Steven and Paul. Last Sunday Paul took Steven back to the hospital to give me and Pauline a break, and to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary. To our surprise, the doctors then gave Steven permission to return home Wednesday evening, because at the moment there's not a lot more that the hospital can do. Steven can do his exercises at home, as he awaits the date for his hip replacement operation, hopefully soon. When we return on Monday we are going to ask if Steven can be an out-patient until his operation. With us, he eats and sleeps much better, and the hospital gain a room. Whilst at home we've all been out and about, shopping, drinks, meals, all the things we should do, late nights, lie-ins, no routine, no noise, and it's been great, making up for our last "holiday" when I was ill. I even took Steven on our motor scooter, much to his delight. His mobility is improving to the extent that he climbs steps and stairs with little or no help, and at a much greater speed and confidence. He also pushes his own wheelchair, and rests when he wants to. If only the pain could disappear Steven would be almost normal if I can use that word. The changes have been remarkable over the last few weeks. He continues to receive support from his friends, and thanks to Jane, another parcel of goodies.
Best regards Terry
