He's Home!!!

Sorry I've been very bad at updating everyone. Been a bit busy over the last few days. Neil came home from Gatwick Park Hospital on Monday afternoon and we are adjusting to being at home together alone. We have had lots of visitors already and this has helped us but the evenings are the worst. We are being strong for each other.

Neil has been making steady progress. He is walking around on his crutches, weight bearing still only 30% on his left side. He can get up and down the stairs with no problems and we have even managed a walk to the end of the road and back. He's not quite so out of breath but his lungs still need more expansion before he can cope with more exercise. It's going to be a gradual thing and he's taking it easy. He has a special breathometer, which he is supposed to use every hour, to build up his lungs.

I bought a decent shower mat so that Neil could have a shower safely but he decided he wanted a bath! He's now had two baths and can get him in and out with not too much difficulty.
