Taking time off - optimisation

I think that being there when your husband comes home is useful as feeding requires a lot of planning!  He won’t be discharged untie he is recovered and physically able to do simple care for himself .  Being in the car should be fine but I found a cushion or pillow on your stomach helps when sitting up and it may help in the car if there are bumps in the road!

Work can be a distraction but equally you will want to visit him, so it will be exhausting physically and emotionally!  
The main thing is to plan soft foods as eating is a lot of trial and error! 
Hope all goes well!

Hi, I agree with Jacqui having someone at home when he first comes home is probably more useful. I prepared things like cheesy mash home made rice pudding (using sweetener as a substitute for sugar) and other soft foods and froze them in small containers so something was ready and didn’t take long defrosting xx
