A bit more good news today, he’s been told he can now use public transport on his own and has been given an open pass so he can come home for dinner some evenings and return to the hospital to sleep and do his daily therapies. He’s had permission to go to snooker the past 3 or 4 Wednesdays, a friend collects him and takes him back on the tram.
This was approved by the chief doctor on the team who are treating him on Monday morning but he wasn’t told about it until this morning. He’s told his other doctor there is little or no communication between him and the nurses and she was very angry about that.
On the previous ward he was given his timetable for the week on a Monday, this ward give him a timetable for each day the evening before and he has to take a pic with his phone as they claim he’s not allowed to touch it and give it back to them because of the bacterial thing going on. There’s a number of magnetic boards in his room where they put info up, he was told a few weeks ago not to use that wall for get well cards so I had to take in Blutack and put them on another wall. I honestly think they’re just making things up as they go along, it’s like a game.
He was taken to University Hospital earlier in the week to have his ears and hearing checked, the consultant there thought it was ridiculous.
Thankfully he’s also now on the waiting list to move up to the independent living part of the hospital when a place is available. Hopefully it might be soon but they’re not testing for the bacterial thing again until end May. The ear doctor said they could actually do it every couple of weeks, but it seems this is their protocol.
