Douglas update

Hes still off work.. still in a fair bit of pain in his foot.. I hope its getting better now!

12.55pm :-( Update.. hes not better - he cant walk, and is now having to shuffle back and to the loo on his bum.

What am I going to do??? I cant take more time off work, but hes barely coping on his own :-( its awful.

Hope I have better news for you soon.

7 pm

Hes no better, but my lovely next door neighbour has lent me her late husbands wheelchair :-) Douglas can now scoot round the lounge, kitchen and to the loo in it with ease.

I will bully him till he calls the Renal Unit tomorrow and arranges an appointment to go see them asap. It just cant go on like this. Update as and when.

Oh no, I am so desperately sorry for both of you. Is his ggout diet related? Or what?

I shall give him a ring.

Yaay for neighbours! Hope trip to Renal Unit helps. Thinking of you.
Went to visit Big School with youngest this evening - he likes it so much he'd like to skip the rest of P7 & go straight into 1st year now :-)
