We met with the consultant today, who said that when Shirley can walk aided by one physio, rather than two, they will arrange a home visit to assess whether and when she can come home.

This is both hopeful and frustrating. At least there is something to aim for, but it also seems to present another obstacle. Shirley feels fully well and is frustrated that she is still in hospital. She just wants to come home.

The consultant is also talking about Shirley being assessed for a stay in the Haywood Hospital's Rehabilitation Unit. A stay there could be a couple of days or more. I think it would be home or the Haywood, but I'm not sure about this.

We've agreed that I will visit just in the afternoon from now on. This might be just a few days, but we realise that it could be a lot longer.
