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.

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
