Hi Sarah

Don’t give up hope. My husband was told he might never walk again and is now walking with sticks and can climb the stairs. Be positive and take one day at a time.

My husband drank lucazade which gave him energy.

Hi Sarah

It will be good to have your husband home. Ian is now walking with sticks and getting stronger. We got a grant for a wet room with hand rails. He also has a riser recline chair, Comdex also used in the shower and a hospital bed. Speak to your social worker if you need anything.

Hi Sarah

Ian wasn’t advised to avoid any types of food but I do wash fruit thoroughly and we only eat red meat once a week. Was told to eat lots of proteins to heal wounds and I also give him a teaspoon ogre manuka honey every day as it is good for the immune system.

Hope M is home soon

Hi Sal

Sorry to hear about M. My hubby is 57 and has had several operations on his spine and lost mobility. He is now walking on crutches and getting stronger after more than a year in hospital. Take one day at a time and try not to look far into the future. Comfort him but do try to make him do things for himself and be independant.

Go to the doctor for something to make you sleep. You can’t cope if you don’t sleep .

We are in central Scotland and get treatment at Forth Valley Royal hospital. We have found the consultants very good. I believe Dundee have a specialist unit for myeloma

Hi Graham

Had a nice Christmas with the family and spending New Year with friends. Ian is still on antibiotics for the wound in his back but we only attend hospital once a week. He is also receiv i ng physiotherapy and can now walk short distances on his crutches. His FLC are rising, now 538 so getting BMB soon and talking about more treatment, probably CTD as he didn’t finish all the cycles first time round.

Happy and healthy New Year.

Love Maureen & Ian x

Wound is being reviewed every week in Edinburgh and is healing nicely. Still going every morning to FVRH for antibiotics. Up at am7.30 every morning and feeling tired.

Looking forward to Christmas with the family. My daughter will help with the cooking. Love seeing the granddaughters.

Merry Christmas
