When i was a nurse in the 70s/80s we gave total patient care to every patient who couldn't manage it themselves. Bedbath/shower/bath, toothcleaning/ dentures nails etc all sorted and as much chat and encouragement as our patient wanted during the process. I've sung with patients, prayed with them, read to them,cried with them and listened to endless memories. Noone has the time anymore!

[@rnkim2564]

nursing used to be a more holistic caring healing profession... now the patient acuity is off the charts and patient load is ridiculous and management ans insurance companies are all pumping patients through as quickly as possible... its an awful thankless profession, for the most part and people are shuttled through a more alienated experience

[@Bunny-xg3hx]

Thank you once again Caroline for the update. You are doing a fabulous job taking care of Paul and keeping us all up to date with his progress and I do hope you are taking care of yourself too as you must be feeling tired and very stressed out watching Pauls difficult journey. It was so nice to see Paul sitting outside getting some fresh air and having a change of scenery. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that you both get home very soon. Sending love & light to you both 🐰

The first shower after major surgery is a milestone. As a patient it seems like it will be impossible to accomplish but once it's done, you feel so proud of yourself, and of course you feel so much better. Human again!

Thank you for the update. You’re right. I was in hospital close to 2 months this year (cancer related bypass). I had ONE shower. It was only when I told them to stop visitors because I smelled so badly that a very kind nursing assistant helped me get to a shower. I was told by a doctor that, as in life, the squeaky wheel gets the grease

You bring up a good point about hygiene in the hospital. I wasn't able to shower this past week, and when I was able to clean up using wet wipes, it was amazing how much better I felt. I think it helps the patient emotionally as well as physically. Thank you for all that you are doing. Much love to you!!

[@thelmab.1516]

Paul, you are such a strong man to be able to keep facing these medical challenges. You have an inner strength that keeps not only you going, but your followers hanging right there with you. I'm curious when you are well enough to leave the hospital, how long the doctors will want you to stay in Brezzina House. Caroline, you're absolutely right about hospital patients needing an advocate to help them with personal care issues. Anyone who's had a long hospital stay will agree that personal care is somewhat ignored by busy hospital staff, so having a friend or family member there to help the patient keep those issues from being ignored is so important. Kudos for bringing that up with everyone. It's so important for every patient's well-being. Hugs and continued well wishes to you both...❤ Thelma (USA)

♥️♥️♥️Thanks so much for the update Carolyn. You are truly an angel here on earth. Sending healing vibes and hugs to you and Paul. ❤❤❤God bless you Paul❤❤❤I hope his stomach complications heal completely very soon. So glad he was allowed to get a shower and get out of bed per dr orders. Great point about Paul hopefully being allowed by his doctors to get back on his antidepressants, etc. That should help his mood a great deal. 🙏Regarding activities of daily living when visiting a person, what a good point Carolyn. So many "normal" daily activities change when sick and in the hospital. As a nurse I would just say for visitors to be sure to check with medical staff before cutting nails or doing personal care. While you may very likely will be able to help after checking, there should be trained nurse's aids and nurses who have dr orders regarding what level of activity and care the patient is allowed to have due to their condition, risk for bleeding, infections, dietary restrictions, etc. There is nothing like helping the person feel as freshened and clean as possible once the clearance from the doctor/ nurses/ medical staff regarding what is allowed is obtained.

It's been a long and slow recovery with some bumps along the way, but I m so glad Paul is continuing to gradually improve ! If his back pain is bothersome, maybe he can get a TENS machine temporarily and have heat/ice to alleviate it? Hospital beds can be rather awful and long hours spent in them don't help! It's great to see Paul up and walking, enjoying the hygiene and even getting cranky moments...all promising signs! Keep it up, hoping the drain is removed very soon. Looking forward to the next update, with tons of healing wishes in the meantime! Hugs to you both.

Caroline, it didnt occur to me that one’s life partner could be a friend, not a spouse, until I witnessed your friendship with Paul. Thank you very much for teaching me this. I love, love what you two have for each other. And Paul… you are such an inspiration. I realize that the alternative was probably an earlier death, but taking on this journey knowing how hard it could be or even harder than imagined and still having a smile on your face, even for the photos:), while living the hardship, is a what I call inspiration. Walking the walk and even though we cant choose to have or not have a good attitude, seeing you having this attitude just gives me inspiration for the hardships that may await me in the future.

[@helengarrett6378]

Recovery is a very slow process but it's progressing. Since Paul has clotting complications and the infection caused by the stomach hole he can't expect to bounce back like a twenty year old undergoing an appendectomy. His situation is coming along pretty well. As for personal care in a hospital, I can tell you it's nonexistent. I asked for a toothbrush and got one with a single row of bristles. Ineffective for dental hygiene, let me tell you. I had gastrointestinal symptoms and was too weak to get up to shower without help. They gave me Scrubz which you moisten and wipe on and wipe off. Very difficult to do more than spot cleaning with those things, especially if you get tired trying to do it alone. So if you have a loved one in hospital, it is a great idea to offer a sponge bath if you can get a nurse or attendant to provide a basin, towels and a few waterproof pads. There is nothing like being clean after a week in hospital. One more piece of advice, never leave home in an ambulance without a change of clothing, shoes and a toothbrush! I was whisked off to the hospital in pyjamas, no shoes and my purse. That's it. No phone charger, no personal care items and that's exactly how I was discharged, in hospital socks, pyjamas holding my purse. Family and friends are very important to people in hospital, and they had better be prepared to help.

That doesn’t happen now Freda. My brother was in hospital here in England recently for 9 weeks on an acute ward. No bed baths when he was immobile for a lot of that time. And no help to the bathroom let alone clean his teeth. No help with eating either when he was not able to lift cutlery himself. Food was just left to get cold. I don’t know where you worked or how long ago. I’ve been in quite a few hospitals and patients are very much left to it or their relatives help. Many though, as Caroline was saying, don’t have any relatives visiting.

I can't wait (but must) until you can go home again. You both have been such stars as both a patient and a friend/caregiver.
