Not such a good day today. DN called to change my husband’s catheter, no idea about the visit. My husband went into panic mode as he experiences a lot of pain whenever his catheter is removed and a new one put in place. He has been going through this for14 months and it never gets easier for him. Then he had a physio therapy session.at home. He tried so hard to stand using the rotunda, the pain he was having was more than evident. He is trying so hard to stand up again but his MSCC just won’t let him. He finished course of antibiotics for the sores/possible cellulitis in his legs today. He is being so brave and determined to beat the prostate cancer and all the health problems it has caused him. I find it so difficult to watch his struggle and to see him in pain. I fainted when he was having stitches from hip surgery removed and the nurse, for reasons only known to her, refused to give him any anaesthetic. I pray for him to be free from pain, to sit at the table for dinner and to come with me for a walk with our dog, just one more time xx
