Valerie, I'm thinking of you and Pete, hoping he makes good progress. Have you got someone you can talk to yourself? My neighbour was wonderful to me when my R was in hospital.

Yes I have a very good friend I talk to every day about pete her husband is a good friend of my husband aswell x

So pleased to hear he is improving he must feel a lot better being able to have a shower. It was seven weeks before I could have one and it was a huge step towards normality. I wish you the best of luck
