8 Feb - she is home today

Kate is home today!

She had a difficult night at the hospital last night and so decided to come home instead and get some rest! The four hourly pulse check turned out to be too strenuous, as one could never have a full night's sleep.

This morning, the doctor re-dressed the arm and gave her the go ahead to check out. He is very pleased with her progress. Kate is healing beautifully and the doctor did a fantastic job under the circumstances.

She is full of beans and was ready to come home. The boys are very glad to have her back and they have been very accepting of their new look mum. Having the operation over is a major step forward.

Now we can concentrate on adjusting our lives, such as re-equipping the kitchen (a thermo-mix is recommended) and modifying the car. A turning knob on the steering wheel is recommended - someone suggested a champagne cork and a nail could do the trick, do-it-yourself style; on second thoughts, we may need to take it to the workshop to have it modified professionally.

  1. Oh what fantastic news!!!!! Congratulations on getting home so quickly Katy - brilliant. May you get lots of rest and feel comfortable and happy being in your own home with your family and telephone right there on demand. So glad you're healing nicely - bet the boys are relieved to have you back. Chat soon.
