We had the Occupational Health guy here as well on Tuesday I think it was - he was great and has taken away a long list of goodies that we would like to have here at home to make things easier for Ben and us - lets see if he is as good as his word.
I think we will have a points systems for fairy wings and grades of competance - ummmmm yeh for achievement? :))
The wheelchair we hired is crap - it is very narrow and had to be because of getting through the doors. It has made it impossible for Ben to shuffle from bed to wheelchair as his x fix is so wide and the chair so narrow (hope you understand) When he gets into the chair there is only about a cm either side between fix and chair and if he knocks it - BIG OUCH!) Its also a bit light and flimsy so Bens confidence is not good.
BUT - its ok that chair is being puffed away today -( bye bye chair) We have a new fairy in the making who has very kindly loaned us a super duper wheelchair which is absolutely perfect and just what we needed!!! Ben is now able to transfer and sit without to much problem at all. Thank you soooooo much the differance in Bens ability and confidence is huge. Thanks also for leaving Ben so inspired after your visit. You guys are an absolutely amazing for Ben - Thanks xx
Just got off the phone to my lovely friend - thanks so much fo the new catheter bag which you had someone steal from the ward for me lol - all my little pilfers -
BIG NEWS - I think the powers that be are sick of the sound of my voice (not the first time) Ben had his new air mattress delivered yesterday and it must be very very comfy as he is still sleeping - it makes you jump though as every ten minutes or so the the air pockets change their position and it sounds like a bleedin dragons breathin fire into the room ;))
