After some hiccups with Silver Chains Sally is finally scheduled to come home tomorrow (Friday). The problem Silver Chains were having was with the bathing arrangements. Our shower recess is tiny and with those sliding shower doors Sally simply could not get in and out of the shower due to the swellings, and also could not stand long enough to take a shower. So for the past 12 months Silver Chains have been coming to give her a manual bathe in the kitchen area with a basin and towels. And well to put it bluntly but truthfully, Silver Chains were too lazy to accommodate this arrangement so were wanting to drop her. Sally would have been home today but for Silver Chains who at first refused to agree to her care. It was only after some intense lobbying from the hospital that they finally agreed to keep Sally on their books, so will start on Monday with someone inspecting the bathroom facilities at our house.

Anyway I was able to get a good look at her sores as she was coming out of the loo at the hospital this evening and am happy to say that they are all but gone with only a few minor patches. So it seems that our bandages expenditure will be much reduced. Of course there's that wound on her leg to attend to, hence is why the hospital insisted on home nurse care such as Silver Chains so to continue to dress the wound and keep a check on it. The wound is reportedly healing nicely but still has a bit to go yet. The worst of it is over, so just need to keep tabs on it which is what the home nurse is for.

Nevertheless i am still a bit apprehensive even though things seems to be better. I suppose I just have to wait and see how things pans out once she is home. She will try the shower over the weekend. She has lost weight so should be able to get in and out of the shower, the only question remains as to if she can remain standing for long enough. The shower is too small for a chair or stool.
