BAD NEWS AND BAD MOVIES.............
After spending a couple of nights at home, AL has returned to hospital in an ambulance.
His temperature went skyward due to an infection.
I believe he is having surgery today to remove the ex. fix. on his arm.
It must be hard having that 'home' carrot dangled in front of you only to promptly end up back in the Alfred.
Myself and my rehab mates all know these setbacks too well and accept that they are part and parcel of the recovery process, but it still makes it no any easier for the person involved and their family and friends.
I spoke to one of my ex cellmates Damien, and he's not going really flash either.
His arm is not knitting, his wife is stressed, their selling their house in the country to move into a smaller place in Bendigo.
I and another of my ex cellmates Mark, will be driving up there to visit him soon.
Bit if a catch up, but also to give the poor bugger some support, as he is quite isolated and that's never good for anyone.
That'll be an interesting trip eh.
Sounds like some bad Hollywood drama.
Two cripples........ brought together by traumatic events...... set out on a road trip to be reunited with their long lost fellow cripple....... a story about pain, strength and brotherly love....... Starring Johhny Depp as Zuba, Orlando Bloom as Mark and Sean Connery as Damien.
hehehe
Storrm, Mark, Damien and David at pub on my last night in hospital.
