Having been in hospital for over 6 months now, with the exception of just 6 weeks at the beginning, my husband should be coming home soon. Week beginning 12th November all being well. The ward can do no more to help him from a nursing or eating/drinking point of view so I have done three lots of food visits today although he has only had fortisips each time. But I am sure the eating side of things should improve when he comes home. Hope so anyway. My husband has gone from saying that he doesn't want to come home, to 'You'll be very lucky if I do come home' (in a 'I will be doing you a favour if I do' manner) to saying today that he doubts whether the hospital will ever let him go. I am not sure quite how I can convince him otherwise because he really doesn't want to talk about it. What's going on in him do you think? I met with the SW today and the care package is being put in place and the OT and Physio come next week for a final home assessment. Then fingers crossed. I daren't even think about the time he comes home. We have had so many setbacks that I daren't begin to believe it might be true.
