Still standing

Gavin is slowly getting stronger and eating a bit more. He is not sleeping most of the day as he was doing, and he has enjoyed reading today.

This morning I changed his dressing, the wound was looking a bit wet which is not good but I managed to do the dressing as the nurse had showed me. He has to wear loose bottoms so that the waistband does not put any pressure on the dressing and wound.

Somehow the day has run away with me. Today was the day I planned to catch up with Blip but I find I am so busy. I have to make sure Gavin is eating the right foods and I am giving him little meals about 5 times a day so that takes time to prepare them. I also had to go back to the supermarket to get some more things we needed.

Xena enjoyed a lovely walk on this sunny and warm day, which is when I photographed this dandelion still holding on to its seed heads in the breeze.

I did some more admin today with Gavin. We have to cancel our trip to San Diego at the end of the month which is so disappointing - it's not just a holiday, it was the first time just our family of five would be on holiday together in many years, and of course it was an opportunity to see Adam's new home there. We will sort all those cancellations on Monday, it will be very time consuming knowing British Airways. However, Adam won a cash prize from Cambridge University for his PhD thesis so he wants to come out for the awards ceremony which is at the end of June, so we will see him then.

Luke arrived this afternoon and I need to go make supper as it is already getting late.
