Hubby Update

[mallyh]

thanks for asking minty ,he is still very uncomfortable ,sleeping a lot and the wound is still leaking xx

[murraymints]

oh dear, hopefully the nurse is coming in to do dressings etc ?

[mallyh]

no, we had to go back to hospital every other day to start with now oh does dressing and we go once a week to see a doc . on the 7th we see consultant.

[murraymints]

that does not sound satisfactory to me..but am not surprised ,sadly, hope things improve very soon..you really are a wee treasure you know..xx

[NoMercy]

Wishing you and your husband all the best, Mally x

[mallyh]

they closed our very good hospital now we have to go to a hospital which is understaffed and very busy . we have to go by bus ferry bus or bus to another town and change to another bus or in oh case as he wasn't well enough for public transport get a taxi ,people have offered lifts but his appointments are when they work so the taxis vary from £14 to £19 one way xx

[mallyh]

thankyou Nomercy xx

[murraymints]

have you asked about volunteer drivers Mally..most hospitals have a bank of volunteers for helping out in such scenarios, my uncle did this for years in Cumbria

[mallyh]

no we haven't done that xx

[murraymints]

..phone the hospital and ask for Patient services... might be called something else..most hospitals have a "friends of....." group that run things like this...

[mallyh]

thanks for that xx

[murraymints]

hope you can get something sorted, just does not seem right for anyone with weeping wounds and a significant health issue to traipse so on public transport..

[Tilly2]

Mallyh, do you have a 'Dial a ride' service in your area?

[murraymints]

Tilly we have one here.. google it Mally dial a ride in.......

[mallyh]

I haven't seen or been told of that Tilly xx

[murraymints]

the hospital really ought to have brought all such help available to your attention....

[mallyh]

just googled dial a ride in our area but they don't do hospitals x

[mallyh]

hopefully by the 7th oh can drive again x

[murraymints]

ask about the volunteers 'till then

[mallyh]

thanks xx
