Morning all,
Apologies I know its been a while since I last visited there's been a lot of mending going on :)
If you are still reading then here's a bit of an update for you.
Bens been getting on really well, the hospital beds gone back and he is getting up and down the stairs so he is now sleeping in his own room again - but we do need to get him a more comfy bed!
His Orthopaedic surgeon is over the moon with his progress, his pelvis has been re-xrayed and all is looking really good. We have a fab physio who comes to the house, her name is Toni and she is really great. Toni goes the extra mile thats for sure, bless her last week she turned up with her husbands playstation/steering wheel/pedals and racing game so that Ben could practice with the pedals as a means of physio for his right leg and foot :)) Ben now has his little 'blue badge' and is happy to travel by car with his little pink arse cushion so we have just started to attend out patient physio as well. Our first visit was last week and the guy was shit so he's been sacked. We have a differant one to see once Ben comes out of hospital again.
The abdominal wound is nearly nearly healed just the last little bit left to go :)
Bens still working hard with regard to getting the nerve signal's going to his right foot and toes. There's now a little movement in the toes and his specialist said this is really positive :) He gets around for short distances with his crutch or alternatively in his wheelchair. Theres a little bit of 'podge' around the belly lol - the weights definatley gone back on and the muscles are looking mean :) Well done that man and thanks Matt and everyone else who has been helping with the weights
We have been in Barts since Saturday as Ben was called in to go on IV antibiotics and fluids prior to his urological operation tomorrow. All your positive energy tomorrow for Ben at this is a biggy for him.
Everything is going well for us at the minute and Ben is in a good place. He still gets down/angy and emotional but that is only to be expected with everything he has had to endure physically and mentally.
As Ben's physical ability continues to improve everything is gettting so much easier at home. There is so much less stress surrounding everyone now and it feels great.
Daves working really hard on getting the house ready for us and we are hoping to move the middle of November. Everyone's really looking forward to a fresh start and leaving a lot of crap behind. Sam will be nearer to university, (Pye will be nearby to keep the luv thang going)) I need to get back to work (lol) Dave will hopefully get some local work on top of the usual stuff (he's already been approached)
Ben's been given a second chance :) Go for it kiddo you're young and have lots of catching up to do
follow your dreams and explore that big bad world theres plenty of time to play grown ups and be old and grey (ask Dad!) hahahah
Go nuts Staaby
