Hi all.
Jenny has been given a pair of crutches today she is doing quite well and is fairly stable on then but not as fast as she was on the zimmer frame, but I guess that's down to gaining a bit of confidence on them. The physio dept are going to try her on some steps tomorrow. They have a large variety apparently. They just need to know she can get her leg up enough to get over the door step and hopefully then they will say she is OK to come home.

Helen I don't know how long it will be before she is able to climb into the motorhome but I did suggest she could probably go in through the habitation door bum first and I could help her up from inside. I think climbing up into the cab is some way off yet.
 
Hello Pete - sorry to hear about Jenny's accident, but I'm glad she's recovering well - hope she is back home soon.

That's a shame but at least it's the cooler months. You will just have to live through others travels for a short time.
 
Hope Jenny can get her leg up 🙄😉 without too much difficulty and release is imminent!
 
Hello all! Your good wishes really cheered me up in hosp so thank you all very much indeed. I'm home now so hopefully might start to feel a bit better soon. The woman who'd never really been ill or had any experience personally with ketones now has that experience and a brand new Optium Neo meter and strips LOL

Have to say though not my usual hospital the DSN there is excellent and so were the Ward nurses of sufficient level - instant recognition that they needed to get a DSN to me asap LOL

The food wasn't good (the different soup choice daily was, though) and very little you could do a reasonably accurate carb count on. Just deliberately under estimate rather than be hypo - and correct after a couple of hours - ideal when you're ill, ain't it! I've just enjoyed eating food for the first time in a week - cos the meal Pete cooked tasted of food rather than everything being soggy and tasteless!

Hey Ho - I survived so far anyway .......
 
Glad you're home. Hope you recover nice and quickly and get back up and about.
 
Pleased you’re home. Sit back and be spoilt!
 
Good to see you home, hope you're soon zipping around on the crutches, or whipping Pete into shape with them, at any rate!
 
Welcome back. I'm sure your bed will seem extra comfy tonight.
 
Welcome back.
 
Glad to hear you're home, Jenny 🙂
Hospital food, eww - R brought me in food from home when I was hospitalised, the only things I took from the hospital caterers were bananas!
 
Welcome back Jenny 🙂 Glad to hear you were well looked after and now back to home comforts and decent, more predictable grub 🙂
 
Hi @trophywench, glad to hear you are back home ~ sit back & enjoy being waited on by Pete & most of all be careful in future ~ enjoy your night back in your own comfy bed 🙂 xx

Glad to hear that you are also home (I should read the updates the other way round). How are the crutches now?

I agree hospital soup seems the best option, and did branch out into a salad. So it was excellent to get OH's fish pie this evening. My favourite recovery food, followed by a fun size box of smarties. Perfect.

Wishing you continued progress and better mobility.
 
Glad to hear your home. I hope you slept well in your own comfy bed last night. Hospital grub does leave a lot to be desired doesn’t it .
Take it easy ok.
 
Good to hear that you are home. I hope that you make a fast recovery.
