After loads of different medications, my friend has now much improved. She's drinking and eating very small amounts of what she fancies and looks much better.
On the 8th June the consultant said he would leave it up to my friend as to whether she wanted to come home, but she decided she still didn't feel well enough to come home. Apparently no operations are going to take place at this time.
Saturday 9th June, a registrar came to see my friend this morning and said that she would not be allowed home until a good support network had been set up. Monday is a possibility but it will depend on the support network.
Today my friend managed a shower, although it took her well over an hour with many periods of sitting down, but she managed it. Walking now seems to be a problem. She can only walk extremely small distances before she needs to sit down with exhaustion. She is finding this extremely frustrating and becomes very upset. She has always been a very active person and finds this restriction difficult to take on board.
Overall my friend is in a far better place this weekend than last, but there is still a very long and unknown road to travel.
