Mon 14th Mar

Today when I arrived at the ward Lindsey was sitting up in her chair the physio had been round and given her some gentle exercises. Mr McDermott came to see  us he discussed the reason for removing the cast from her ankle and doing a new one, he wants to check that the wounds are healing nicely and that there  is no sign of infection , he stresses that he still doesn't want her to put any  weight on her ankle for the next 6 weeks and  he plans to do this tomorrow afternoon. Today  I also met Mr Selby, he said that medically everything was now fine her kidneys are repaired and functioning and now we just have to concentrate on the physical stuff which of course is hampered by the ankle. Before discharging Lindsey from his ward he wants a chest scan just to make sure everything is as it should be, then she can be transferred to a rehab ward to concentrate on physio and getting stronger. Lindsey is still very sleepy and goes back onto the bed after lunch.
