A visit from Super Nurse


Our fortnightly visit from the specialist pressure sore nurse Ton Peeks went very well.
The wound has shrunk by a centimetre. It is a slow process but we are back on course. When we started the wound was nine centimetres deep, finishing just short of the bone.
I saw Ton's photo's of the first visit. Shocking. Today we all couldn't stop smiling and congratulating each other. Ton has been a great support and his advice and encouragement have helped me through this last six months.
We are both feeling good- talk of wheel chairs in the next month! Here comes the summer! Herrad and Marlene shared a moment on the bed after!
