Jill has been in hospital 15 days and is certainly much brighter after the effects of the morphine has worn off. Since the last cast was changed and waiting 2 days for the results of the x-ray the orthopaedic surgeons visited Jill on Friday and a decision was made to change the cast again. She a pressure sore on her ankle from the first cast which they noticed when they put on the third cast and on Friday evening they had cut a window through the cast so they could manage the spot. The decision is to put on a plastic clam shell splint on Monday ( this morning at 7am) . I have googled it, as even though they could explain it they had not seen one used on an adult. Apparently it can be opened so that the leg can be treated and the skin moisturised.
Jill had a little visitor ( Miss Chelsea Canning) on Friday , she giggled and sat on Jill’s knees. The light that children bring to our lives when you are down is amazing. Thanks Alicia for the soup and bringing Chelsea.

Sunday seem a long day – during the afternoon we sat and Jill listened to one of her audio books. I will be pleased when this one is finished as it is a very confusing book ( that’s my opinion) Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon.
Well I had better make tracks and see how this new cast is.
Thanks for all the wishes, text messages and calls. We certainly appreciate them.
See you soon on the net
