Day 9 in a chair (reprise)

Sunday night was much better than Saturday. Rhys managed to get a lot more sleep although we were still awake early.
Some early exercise was called for though because the cannula that was put in yesterday had come out. Although not in an obvious way. It was only when Rhys realised that the bed was wet that we figured out that there was a problem with the cannula and when the nurse came in to check it one touch and it dropped away from Rhys arm.
With wet bedsheets we had the opportunity for Rhys to get out of his bed and into a chair for a short while. I wasn't sure that he would want to but he did. It was only for about 5 minutes but it was something and he wanted to do it.

The cannula was replaced later and once again Rhys' freedom to move about was curtailed. Not that it stopped him much. He was in an out of bed like a yo-yo. In between Rhys moved himself around on the bed a number of times to get himself more comfortable, something that even the day before required a lot of help.

Steve, one of the consultants popped in to see Rhys and find out how he was doing. While we were talking he mentioned that we hope to have the results of the tests done on the tumour this week. We should find out as a result whether or not all of the tumour really was removed. Hopefully all of it has been removed so that he doesn't have to have radiotherapy.

Mum returned to Bristol in the afternoon and brought Gran and Grandad to visit. Throughout their visit Rhys wasn't the most chatty but then having four people in the room, who aren't doctors or nurses, at the same time is the largest number he's had in a week. Besides by the time they arrived Rhys was about halfway through 4 hour Power Rangers Samurai marathon on DVD.

The next few days Mum has the pleasure of Rhys' company and recovery. I'm sure that they will have a fine time. She just has to avoid accidentally blocking people's phone numbers on her mobile, especially the home number!!
