Day 99

Jun 17, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Colin had his official pass-out to come home for the day today. We arrived at 7:30 at the rehab this morning, and Jabu (our wonderful Carer / ENA [enrolled nursing assistent]) helped with the heavy lifting and some other nursing activities. The Transporter (a wheelchair rack built to fit onto a tow bar) was successful, … [Read more…]

Day 42

Apr 21, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Colin wasn’t able to sleep properly last night and needed his cpap mask for sleeping. Unfortunately, it was ruined in the ICU. It would have cost the same to repair as to get a new one, and we wanted to wait and see what would happen, but it became an urgent matter last night. The … [Read more…]

Day 31

Apr 10, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Just so much admin to do. I have done a lot but there always seems to be more and more to do. Today I am grateful for printers, phones, and compassionate people who help as much as they can. My printer has stopped working and it is very annoying. You don’t realise how much you … [Read more…]

Day 30

Apr 9, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Today was another really good day. Colin is speaking more and more easily, and his oxygen is down to 1, he is eating all he meals, his shoulder is still sore but is feeling much better, and today he told me that he feels as if his fingers are starting to move a very tiny … [Read more…]

Day 29

Apr 8, 2017 by Janis 3 Comments

Today was an absolutely brilliant day, all around. I didn’t go see him yesterday, and I missed him a lot, but there was just too much to do, and I also needed a break. When I arrived this morning, he waited for me to come close, as usual, and then whispered “I have a surprise … [Read more…]

Day 28

Apr 7, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Today I am grateful for technology. Although I cannot yet communicate with Colin via phone (talking or sms or whatever else) I know that the time will come when it is possible, and that fills me with great joy. I looked up lots of information about tenodesis and I am hopeful that there is a … [Read more…]

Day 27

Apr 6, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

Today was a very difficult day. They say he will need to stay there for 6 months, and I am really starting to understand the full impact of what has happened to him. The team is wonderful and very helpful and caring; but I find that I was still thinking along the wrong lines and … [Read more…]

Day 26 Update

Apr 5, 2017 by Janis 2 Comments

I spent a lovely day with Colin, and it was very pleasant. Another friend of his came to see him today, and it was very moving to see how much his friends love and miss him. I think he is longing to already be further down the journey, but he did say that they mentioned … [Read more…]

Day 23 update

Apr 2, 2017 by Janis 1 Comment

Had a lovely day with Colin. He is keeping so positive, and working really hard on his exercises. He was a little tired today, and had a little nap in between while I was there. There are still noises, but they are merry, and not rushed. The ICU was really not conducive to long-term as … [Read more…]

Day 22 Update

Apr 1, 2017 by Janis 4 Comments

Today Colin was showing us how well he is doing with his arm movement on his left side. His shoulder is still sore so he can’t really work on his right, but hopefully this week it will be sorted out. He does have some slight improvement in his right forearm, and you can see the … [Read more…]
