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!
