Ben should have been in a limo all tarted up and off to Ascot with Brads family and friends for the day. That obviously cant happen so Ascot is coming to Harrison Ward :) Brad and Sam you are such cuties for spending the day here with Ben instead - David you need to learn how to blog as I have no idea if you guys had any winners? Good time had by all though :))
Sam Pye I am disappointed in you for not dressing up as a horse!
Medically - It was meant to be a quiet day for Ben today so he could just chill with pals - he did eventually but because of a problem with his abdominal wound site he was again pulled and pushed and prodded. The area is not healing so another swab has been taken - once the results are back we will be advised and given a treatment plan. It is such a shame this area is causing so much trouble :((
Bens right leg has a lot of nerve damage and has been giving him more and more pain over the past few days. Still trying to get the medication cocktail right - getting there.
He was also taken of unexpectedly for a pelvic xray - No one knew about it on the ward? Must have been requested by the 'big boys' Cant get any results till Monday as another shite weekend is looming!
Not sure if I mentioned before but there was talk of transferring Ben to Queens hospital until his fixator is ready to be removed in 2-4 weeks - None of us were happy about this. We have been talking with the trauma team and occupational health about our concerns. It has been agreed that Ben can bypass Queens and come home when his wounds look like they are healing and he is able to get him self back and forth from bed to wheelchair. Great news!!
Soooooooooooooe need to hire or buy a hospital bed, a couple of wheechairs and one of those electrical recliners that shoves you out haha - does any one have any contacts?
We were prepared for 'Friday night stab night' in Whitechaple but didnt happen as this afternoon we took delivery of another 3 patients who are more long term - so now more daily in and outs of arseholes and old bill :))
One of the new 'guests' is Andy - he had a cycling accident and was in the intensive care room with Ben when they were both critical a few weeks ago. Its funny our families know each other so well now - they were both formally introduced today :)) I am sure they will forge a lasting friendship and benefit immensly from chatting to each about their accidents and feelings - BT says" its good to talk"
My Sister told the girls (Rosie and Amy) about Bens accident yesterday and they came to see Ben today. They are only young and took the news really well. They were over the moon to see 'their Ben'. Now we stop telling little white lies :)) Well done girlies for being so brave xx.
Hugs and kisses all round was a good day today
Love you the world Ben we are all so very proud of your strength and courage
Looking forward to a peacful weekend in Harrison with our new guests :))
xxxx
Mumma, Dadda and Sambo
