hello everyone and thank you for your help and love on my last blog .Well here goes , the latest thing that has happened is phil has developed a new area on his leg that is leaking fluid due to his having fluid retention in his legs and his skin is so delicate that I have to be really careful when i touch him to change his dressings . I am getting so scared to move him as he cant move himself that I might damage him .I put his t.shirt on yesterday and touched his arm ( which is also full of fluid) and the skin broke and fliud just started pouring out had to grab a drainage bag that we use for his other wounds and put that on . Poor phil now has 5 bags on his body .I dont know how he keeps going but he does . I havnt been sleeping to good because Im so worried about him and whats going to happen next ! I m sure its only our 6 grandchildren that keep him going (and me) the eldest one askes when can he go and help her ride a bike like he did her dad , that breaks my heart but he just laughs and says AS SOON AS I GET NEW LEGS , IN THE MEANTIME YOU PRACTICE . she always smiles and says ok . Take care whoevere reads this and hopefully keep smiling x x x x
