Hello Bloggers

Bens been making good progress with the frame and crutch support. He has been in good spirits and working hard with his physio.

Its been really difficult getting info out of anyone and speaking to the Doctors. The nurses are sooooooooo busy and are in short supply they seem to start and job and dont get round to finshing
 it :(

Tissue viability came on Monday and assessed Bens abdo wound - its looking a lot better so thats good news. Yesterday was a shit day he went down to theatre eventually to get his catheters changed. He didnt recover very well and was in a lot of pain.  This morning was crap for him as well.

Its coming up to 1800 and he's a lot better now.  He is eating and drinking properly but still has a lot of pain in his stomach - prob from the proceedure and being being man handled in theatre.

More bloods and urine have been taken and once the cultures are back we will know when Ben is able to come home again.  He is still on the anti-biotic drip.
