Wednesday 13th July

Morning , :))

Really sorry for not keeping up to date there always seems to be something to do  - I will try harder

We are settleing in at home much better and know what needs to bo done it just dosn't always go to plan for one reason or another. Ben has his own private room (in our lounge!) fully equipped with all he needs - plus a massive TV at the foot of the bed and an x box loaned by Sam Pye - (I have banned bloody Fifa after 10pm)

We have three hospital appoinments with week, the first was on Monday with the trauma team.  They were pleased with Bens progress and gave some positive news with regard to his colostomy - they assured us thats Bens should have a trouble free reversal operation further down but he has to get better first :)) Brill news!

We have an appointment today with regard to the x fix being removed.  Ben had all his pelvic x rays taken on Monday so when we see his orthopaedic man today he will have all he needs to make a decision about removal. Lots of fingers crossed and send all your positive thought for it to be taken off today in clinic (ouch) Watch this space

Friday Ben has another appointment at Barts this is for an EMG which is a conductor test to assess the nerve damage to his right leg.

Ben is doing well generally, still has his ups and downs but that is only to be expected taking into account the trauma he has suffered to both physically and mentally. The progress Ben is making is still astounding his team.  Only on Monday were the radiologists looking gob smacked as he transferred himself with ease from bed to bed using just the strength of arms and arse shuffle:)) (new move for the dance floor in him red shoes boys)

Ben being home is good for all of us - its has its difficulties but we wouldnt have it any other way

Thanks everyone for their support
