Met Physios on Monday and they took the rotunda.

They'd already done some work with GOM before I got there and he hadn't been too bad. Noticed that they've marked the 'white board' with a discharge date of 7th August.

Towards evening visiting gom asked to used the commode and instead of the hoist we managed with the rotunda although the hoist still had to be used to get him into bed as it was too high with both mattresses to use the rotunda.

Tuesday morning I went into town and did some shopping and when I got back had a call from the hospital to say that he would be coming home. The transport would be able to bring the rotunda, so I wouldn't have to go up there. He arrived back about 2pm

There was a bit of bleeding after I changed the leg bag over but it cleared. Then when he went to bed I saw that the wound had been weeping quite a bit (probably chaffing on his undies), so got some disinfected water and bathed it with cotton buds. It seemed to be ok after that until Wednesday morning.

Transfers have been going very well, but his legs are super sensitive and react to the slightest touch, so it's difficult for him to stand for very long periods - even with support.

This morning the wound was very 'mucky' again with a bit of blood in the discharge. Bought some Melolin sterile dressings from the local pharmacy, but the the district nurse came later and she brought dressings and things with her so we should be ok for a while.

The home care is back with us for morning sessions, but we have deferred showers until monday to see if his legs settle down a bit.

He could also be getting a bit constipated so have given him something for that otherwise everything seems to be going very well.
