home after over 1 month hospital stay

Less than one minute read time.

Had r/c done spent 2 days icu then went back to ward, then I caght pnuemonia and ended up back in intensive care and on life support for 10 days. Been home 5 days and feel so weak food tasts awful and I have a terrible thirst. I dont know if its because I was fed through tubes for a few weeks but nothing tastes right. I would love a cup of tea but it tastes awful. Has anyone got any tips for this if so I would be grateful. I have district nurse every day as I have had stitches out but not clips as I had to be stitched twiced because where I was on life support body was too low too heal. My wound is infected but it does look as though its starting to heal.My skin  is peeling like a snake. What a state but at least Im home. Run out of energy again so going back to bed to watch tv. Thanks for any advice anyone may have. Rosie x
