Time is moving by fast....
Matty is settling in to Rehab alot better, doing his 2 x 1 hour sessions in the gym daily and reinforcing that work in extra time in his room. Some light compression bandaging so far to help shape the stump and he sees his surgeon on Monday, and will probably get his stitches out then too.
Today we took some 'gate leave' as they call it! Matty was assessed to get in and out of a car and we escaped for an hour or so. Many moons ago it would've been off to the pub I'm sure, but today it was off for coffee then some Op Shopping at the massive Salvo's store in Minchinbury. A few T-Shirts later, exhaustion point arrived and we headed back to base.
Patience is a virtue they say.....
Patience is the only thing to get him through this stage of the game.
He's waited for at least a year to get to this point, now the healing, the shaping, the increasing pain with compression bandaging etc is taking its sweet arse time in preparation for getting onto 2 legs again but it's the only way!!!
Visits from some really great humans, the benefit love and impact on our lives and everyone's kind thoughts and support is what's making it easier to deal with. Thanks to everyone for making a difference on so many levels, you guys are the bomb xxxx
