Home again

 Geoff seems so much better! He spent two weeks doing intensive physiotherapy, and having a physician sort out his medication properly and raising his blood pressure. It has gone from 61 over 49 to 100 over 62. He didn't fall once in the convalescent home. So I think we are finally on the home stretch! Now he wants to begin driving again!

Convalescing comfortably

 I go and see Geoff every day, and every day he is looking a little better. I'm so pleased! He is wearing compression socks and has to have a nurse with him wherever he walks (with crutches). But he hasn't felt wobbly once and he hasn't fallen once in Step-down. (which is called Fair Cape by the way). He has to have an injection once a year to strengthen his bones apparently, and he eats salt tablets and has a vitamin b12 injection once a month. So I'm very happy with his progress and I hope soon he can come home and drive and make coffee! (His standing blood pressure is 61 over 49 - which is still rawther alarming). When he is sitting it's higher. He has to wear a red band round his wrist, for HIGH RISK OF FALLING but soon he should be able to graduate to a green one! I hope so!
