Progress not Perfection

Strange you mentioned the hospital food, I was reading someone posting on FB the other day about how great the food was in a hospital in Sheffield. Maybe things are improving all round

What a day.

No wonder your daughter lost so much blood. I'm glad it's been found and she seems to be on the mend already.

So super-stressful about Mr SA, but if there's a silver lining, it's that he's in the best place and being looked after by experts. Could you perhaps treat yourself to a taxi when you visit? I hope you all have a good night and Mr SA's treatment very soon starts to show results.

What a day SA, glad that DD now has hopefully been sorted and recovers quickly. Hoping Mr SA starts getting better as well. Fingers crossed for a peaceful night for you.

Great news that they've found the source of DDs problem, even if it did seem to take longer than perhaps it should have.

Hope they can get MrSA stabilized soon.

You must be worn out, and being pulled in every direction possible!  Hope you can manage a peaceful nights sleep.  (((hugs))) XX

Thank goodness DD's issue has been discovered and treated and she's feeling well. What a relief.

Do double check that Mr SA is being regularly tested for urinary tract infections, they can send people absolutely doolally and a simple antibiotic course sorts it right out. It is truly amazing how badly UTIs affect people with health vulnerabilities and how quickly they return to 'normal'- and how often health care providers overlook it as a potential cause for issues

I still haven’t managed the cleaning up. I’m going to have to put my foot down with Mr SA and say I’m not going to see him on Saturday. I really need a day to catch up with things and take some time for myself. 

I can’t find his blooming lip balms anywhere. Goodness knows where he’s stashed them he had loads. He’s lost 2 already in hospital 😞

Hadn’t planned dinner and needed something quick so bought a pizza and bag of salad leaves from Mr T on my way back from the hospital. Plenty left for another quick meal another day. 

I need to go into the office tomorrow for something important I’d promised to do pre holiday but it should only be half a day. I can catch the bus straight to the hospital to see Mr SA then be home mid afternoon for the dog. 

The dog has been so good bless her apart from the park business. I managed to get her on the park this morning but not very far as she spotted another dog and refused to go any further 😞

What a day! I’m so glad one of your invalids has been fixed. Will she be allowed home soon?
Are the spare lip balms in with the holiday things?

She doesn’t know. She needs another scan tomorrow to make sure everything is ok. I’m hoping she won’t be in long for her sake. 

Goodness knows where the blooming lip balms are. Apparently a nurse had to raid medical supplies to find something similar as he was driving them mad - report from SIL who was with him today.

Dehydration can cause confusion as well as uti's. As he isn't getting his beer is he drinking enough? 

My heart goes out to you and wish I could take some of your load. Hopefully your dd is on the way to recovery. Take care, don't forget to eat and I hope you get some sleep.

Glad to hear DD has had surgery & I really hope she is on the mend soon. Sorry to read that Ms SA is not making progress & to think that they were going to send him home! I really think that Mr SA could manage one day without lip salve! xx
