Hi all
Bit of a funny old week really, Bens fed and just wants to get up and walk. He is feeling a bit apprehensive about things which is understandable. We all being very positive and encouraging him all the way. Cant wait till he can put a bit of weight through his legs and get some rehab under his belt.
We now have a few more appointments in the diary - next Tuesday 26th at Barts for a pre op assessment and xrays. Then Wednesday 27th Mr Culpan the pelvic consultan at The Royal London for a review, Wednesday 3rd August operation at Barts regarding all the bladder and urethral goings on - depending on findings they will decide their course of action - can only do certain surgery if the perinial wound it totally healed - they wont go into an exisitng wound for obvious reasons - so just need to wait and see nearer the time
Bens still not comfy because of the rod and screws. Viability have suggested he try another Mattress so thats coming today. Told her we still need a pressure cushion for the wheelchair and that Wankerdom was meant to sort it but he hasnt - lovely lady and has also ordered Bens cushion and that will also be delivered today.
Ben has important exercises to do at home in his wheelchair for upper body and legs, its really important he does these - but sometimes its difficult to find the motivation. I find myself moaning at him and to be honest dont have the energy for that. :( I want to try to get a rota going for the next 3 weeks (until he starts physio) . It would be great if everyday someone could commit to spending an hour working with him - that way there will be a routine in place and Ben will look forward to working out with his pals :)) (special treat will be a game of Fifa on x box without me wineing on and on and on) Naomi ex fitness guru Shaw you also on my hit list! lol
I am gonna facebook this and send some texts - if you can help and commit to a time and date over the next 3 week period please can you please text me
Thanks a bundle
Kerry
