Steve has had another full week this last week and has took the opportunity this weekend to catch up on his rest. He has had a number of hospital appointments and everything regarding his recovery from his injuries is progressing well. The burns to his lower buttocks have almost healed now. This has been such a long process but the area is looking much better. Steve may return to Wythenshawe hospital in the near future for a short inpatient stay for further treatment. He also has the visit to the Fire Service therapy centre coming up so he is keeping active and working towards being more mobile and able to look after himself.

 

Steve has further appointments with the consultant who did the surgery on his elbow. More surgery may be required in the near future to enable him to be more flexible in this area. All this is in the early stages of the decision making process and Steve will decide what he wants to happen and what further surgery he wants to go through.

 

Steve was visited this week by Mr Dixon, Chief Fire Officer and Mr Ciaramella, Assistant Chief Fire Officer. Steve and Pauline thoroughly enjoyed their company and had a really good chat with them. Steve commented to me after their visit how good it was to see them both and how grateful he was that they had taken time from their busy schedule to come and see him and Pauline at their house.

 

Steve has a somewhat quieter week coming up and visiting from family and friends is starting again. He is looking forward to seeing  people and catching up on what they have been up to.

 

Thanks for keeping in touch.
