amberdreamsThank you once again for all your good thoughts and hugs, you lovely bunch. I am much happier today having seen the old boy face to face. He's very wobbly but MUCH better than I'd feared. His movement is reasonable, he doesn't have that drastic one side thing that strokes so often cause, but his speech-centre has been hit quite badly, especially as he got more and more tired. But - perky enough, out of bed sitting up and relatively alert.
Evidence!
Of course the daft bugger had managed to get out of bed and try to walk to the toilet on his own this morning - got as far as the third bed before falling over and hitting his head on something. As if he needs any more blows to the head. Who does he think he is - a Winchester?
Oh and if any of my medical experts are reading this - any idea what Glasgow coma scores of 14, 13 and 15 might signify? His blood pressure they took while we were there was 133/66.
Hopefully there will be some doctors there tomorrow for us to ask some questions and find out what their long term prognosis is.
