Mon 21st Mar

This morning when I arrive Lins is still in bed drinking her tea she seems a lot happier than yesterday.  The physios have told the care assistants that they would like to them to use the standing hoist to get Lins into her chair today this is the piece of equipment that they used with her on thurs.. It doesn't go that well they manage in the end but with a lot of screaming from Lins. Scott has arrived at the hosp its been 2wks since he last seen her, he comments on how well she is looking, last time he was there she was on a drip and had lines in her neck and hands now she is completely free. After lunch we ask if we can have a chair to take Lins out of the ward, this however didn't happen as the physios came back for a session, they tried Lins with the standing hoist but with no great success ,they then tried another piece of stationary equipment but this wasn't successful either, Her body is just not strong enough yet and they decide that for now she has to go back to using the general hoist so that there is no pressure being put on the broken ankle, Lins is happy about this. Before we left, the ward sister came to discuss what we wanted for  when she leaves we decided that to bring her home with the full care package and equipment was going to be best,she went off to put this in motion and Lindsey herself said that she didn't feel that she should come home just yet and was happy to go to the rehab ward at the grove.
