First thing yesterday he was coming out in the morning, then not coming out until maybe Monday, then definitely coming out after all - so collection was in the middle of the rush hour, home just before 8. At least it meant that he had supper before he left the hospital, so all he had to do was get used to being home and get into his own comfy bed.
He still has a Hickman line in, and to complete 4 weeks of intravenous antibiotics he will need a nurse to visit daily for another 11 days - unfortunately the convalescent home we had in mind cannot provide this service. He is also expecting someone daily, organised by social services. We all hope he will take things as slowly as he needs to while he convalesces.
It is 17 weeks today since he first went to A&E in the ambulance
