Got my boy home

He's still on complete bedrest, but at least he's at home. I'm putting a battery of drops into his eye throughout the day to keep te pressure down. With the injury he sustained there's a risk over the next few days of a further bleed, so fingers crossed please.

He can't see very well out of the eye, but that is largely due to the debris left behind by the bleed, which is gradually draining away. He has this weird tidemark across his eye, below which is the settled blood.He's very tired too, as he hardly slept in hospital.

We go back on Friday to see what's what.

So glad the sports centre manager took him straight to the Eye Pavilion, I think it must have helped. The medical care was good, but the building had a temporary run-down feel to it. Plus most of the nursing night shift were from an agency and their English wasn't great, one told me my son might get home "yesterday", she meant tomorrow. Plus the ward got closed as the bathrooms needed work, they were very basic and clapped out, so everyone was moved up two floors!

I had no complaints over my own treatment, but eye care seems to be a pretty poor relation to cancer care in terms of the actual buildings/estate.

This is yet another reminder, if we needed one, that life can change very quickly indeed.
