Health update.

So a bit of good news, Barry. I can imagine the sheer boredom and frustration at still being in hospital. Like being stuck in limbo. Nice to have your son able to help settle you back home.
All the best to you. We are all rooting for you.

Well still awaiting the wheelchair. I have bought a bath lift, being delivered to my flat Monday when my youngest son will take delivery and check it out.

Also Monday a temporary wheelchair is being delivered on loan so I will be able to get used to using it. And, hopefully that will speed up discharge.

A power lift wheelchair is also being delivered for me to test drive. I think this one will be too big for my flat though. Worth trying it out.

A bit of progress but hospital is now getting beyond tedious.

One more bit of good news. My younger son, the adventurer, is back from hunting crocodiles in Australia and is staying in my flat. He will stay a week or so after I am discharged. Hopefully that will also help speed discharge.

Glad to hear things are starting to look more positive for you Barry.I cant begin to imagine being stuck in hospital that long.Must be just sheer purgatory.
Thinking of you.
All the best from Richard

Well folks, I am home…

It all happened quite rapidly in the end. I employed the private OT who arranged a wheelchair delivery, now the released me…

My younger son is staying with me at least until I get my power lift wheelchair by which time I should be able to live entirely independently.

I have a steep learning curve over the next few weeks but it is amazing to be home…..

My son is sleeping in my modelling room so I am a bit restricted at the moment, but I will soon be back at the bench.

Good news Barry, hope everything goes well

[Jim R]

That's great news Barry. Having your son staying with you will be a real help. Being home will certainly give you a boost and a bit of plastic cutting will help as well.
All the best.
