Not much new to report

Hello Friends of Graham,

Just a very brief update as there is not a lot to report! Dylan drove me to the hospital on Monday (he got his licence just last week!) and that was a real treat, as my right foot (driving foot) is still very sore.

We stayed just a couple of hours. Graham is still in bed but the bed sore is getting better. Someone told me today that Christopher Reeves died from an infected bed sore so it is imperative that these things not get out of hand, or even get on the body in the first place. Graham is being very stoical about it. They have told him it is almost cleared up. Hopefully he will be back in the wheelchair soon and re-learning how to feed himself and how to get around.

Dylan and I read him some emails and the headlines in the newspaper, and Graham dictated one post card. I fed him and brushed his teeth and his hair. The last pinhole in his head to be healing from where the halo was anchored is coming along nicely now. He still has not managed a bath yet but is hoping to get one soon.

That’s about it really – nothing new happening for him healthwise while he is stuck in bed.

Airasa and Ian are back from a short trip to the south of the country for a nice relaxing long weekend.

Take care, all – I said it would be short!

Kind regards,
Linda
