@Anne65 Wow! What a lot of stuff you are going thru ..... especially the holding breath stuff & making sure the Mepitel is all positioned OK etc. Good that it is protecting your skin!

Yes, being at the Lodge will make it much easier for us - tho we plan on going home for weekends. We may even go to the Hospital Cafeteria for our evening meal ... which takes the pressure off me having to cook!!

BIG hugs to you & we'll catch up next time you are home! xx
