New developments. OT/ social work and council returning. This is major news, it means that we are finally on the social work wheel and things will finally start to happen. We hope. Rooms will be located, walls boarded up and the house will take on yet another era in the Mitchell house.
Tues/Wed
An empty bedsite on arrival at the southern. That could only mean one thing, Colin was confined to bed once more. I spoke to Lee, the nurse and was told that at skin check this morning Colin was showing a red spot. Ironically, not on the originally site. It was not broken, but early indications were there. This now mean a possible few days in bed. I was not upset, it had been something I had expected. Colin's skin is vulnerable. I knew that if his bed was not in the ward, then he was in the gym. Sure enough, that is where I found him.
His spirits were high, as long as his gym time was not compromised, he could cope with the lack of chair time.
We had "outside" visitors toda. I say we, I of course mean Colin, but I always enjoy new chat. Jamie Douglas and Jonathan Tidswell. Colin was glad to see them, with their news from the outside world. Ponies, work and normality.
The time passed quickly and after they left, the normal routine continued. I hoped that the skin blip was just temporary and that "chair" time would commence soon, but as Colin and I have to learn, you cannot push things, or you go back to square one.
I do not find this easy, but as usual Colin accepts this with good grace.
