[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2116500, member: 87354"] My fil is still in, and unfortunately made an attempt to stand on his own yesterday with no nurse in the room. He fell and ripped his drip out -the whole shebang. Unfortunately this took a huge strip of skin off his forearm and he now has a large dressing on (he's on warfarin and bleeds like the clappers). He has a drip in the other arm and is still catheterised. His oedema is going down very very slowly but I think he'll be in for a few days yet; no way can he go home with just mum there to nurse him. We don't mind visiting every day but can't move in with them - no room, we have dogs, I work and I think we'd be an intrusion. We can visit every day, and their next door neighbour (and her daughter) are in and out all the time. Whether the docs would think that would suffice I don't know. I'd worry a lot about mum though. One of us might have to move in for a while - maybe himself could go and take the dogs? (Dizzy would not[I] [/I]do well without him). No point worrying about what hasn't happened; just be grateful that atm things are being handled well. [/QUOTE]
