Hopping back 'home'

Srourn came back to us yesterday, after three months in hospital. He's looking really well and we're thrilled to see him again. He is likewise thrilled to be back, hanging out for the last week to be able to come back 'home'. He's a bit shorter on one leg but he appears pretty well settled with the amputation situation (mid way between knee and foot) and chats away about getting a new piece of machinery fitted in the near future.

Srourn (on the right) with Navy (Alisa's mum) and Dtouch. Dtouch also is a returnee from the same hospital as Srourn was in. He's had a skin-graft that is still needing a bit of healing to take properly.

We continue to have folk coming and going. This morning a patient left so we were in a position to say that we had two spare beds. Four people walked in this afternoon. OK - so a bit of juggling and pulling out a wheelie bed ... and everyone should have a mattress tonight.

Our other six folk at dinner this evening - four patients and two family members. They are a good natured bunch!
