Barrie had the first
operation on his leg today and it went well
The surgeon Steve Hansen cleaned the fractures and removed some dead bone
It now needs to heal for about 10 days to 3 weeks and if everything is OK, he will then do a bone graft and put a plate to consolidate the leg
Barrie will then have a plaster cast for 6 weeks
Hopefully his kidneys should start to work soon but in the meantime he will need more dialysis
I visited Barrie this evening and to my surprise he was fully awake and he could talk thanks to the special valve fitted on his tracheotomy
This was wonderful to be able to have a proper conversation after a week of frustration !
I hope he will continue to do well and get better and get used to eating proper food and that for my next visit I will be able to bring the creme caramel he has been requesting (La Laitiere ! This is advertising for you...)
