Hi, just a very quick post to let you know that I brought him home this afternoon, the doctors were so pleased with him. Everything’s going ok so far and I have given my first injection tonight (blood thinner!) I’ll be an expert in 24 days.
I’m a bit busy as you can imagine but wanted to take time out, to thank you all of you, for all your advice and support, you all helped us more than you know. I’m certain I’ll be asking for help very soon, probably tomorrow, but for now I feel extremely happy...thank you 
Hi Ian, thanks for thinking of me, so thoughtful. It’s very early days, we’re very much beginners and it’s very reassuring to know your there to help and support.
Kind regards, Budge
Hi, everything seems to be going well, he’s still very positive and has even ventured out for a very small walk, within sight of our home.
I am helping him change his stoma bag, which has daily output now, (if that’s the right term) but only because his bottom is uncomfortable/painful after his APR surgery, so he finds it difficult to sit at the right angle. On that, could you advise as to how long it takes to heal, we realised on leaving hospital we didn’t ask whether he had dissolving stitches or what. Any dressings are slowly just coming off.
He has an appointment next Tuesday with his stoma nurse, we are awaiting a date to discuss biopsy results with his surgeon.
I’m slowly getting to grips with the low residue diet, thankfully it won’t be forever.
Finally, I would have contacted you direct but can’t find the link to contact a friend.
Regards, Budge
That’s brilliant, thanks
Hi Karen, Just an afterthought, if you have a iPhone, pressing the power button and home key at same time, gives you a screen shot. I’ve attached image of instructions. Budge
