Wild weather day

The weather today, as forecast, has been really horrendous. Torrential rain at times and gale force winds. Lots of flooding around, but luckily we live at the top of a hill so don't have to worry about that. A very large branch was blown off one of the trees that surrounds our garden, no damage though. (photo today, but not very good as it was pouring with rain and I took it through the window).
Yesterday I tried to contact the secretary to the Consultant that Pete was under at Bideford. He was supposed to have a follow up appointment 8 weeks after discharge and we had heard nothing, and it is now 10 weeks. She was away so had to leave message with another secretary at a different hospital - so didn't expect to hear anything until next week. But then this morning we had a phone call to say he has an appointment tomorrow at 10.30am, so I can't help but think he probably had got lost in the system and so needed a follow up fast!! I hope we may get some advice on the pain in his arm and how that is progressing and also perhaps some advice on his sleeping. Also need to mention the 3 episodes of him feeling really hot in himself although not hot to touch.
There was no physio scheduled for today so were going to do some exercises this afternoon, but never did as too engrossed in watching the weather! However Pete has done a lot of filling in of missing letters and then copying the word out. At least it makes a change from writing names and the alphabet. There is an app we use that shows a picture and writes what it is below it but with letters missing - then gives a selection of 4 or 5 letters to choose from, I tell him which letter is missing and he has to pick it out. He is getting quite good at recognising the letter he needs and only looks at it once before writing it, so this is an improvement, but still can't just write a letter from memory. We have had two sessions of this today and I think he quite enjoys doing it.
We have also done hand massage tonight and loosened up his hand and fingers. He can now get his fingers far enough apart to be able to link his other hand in between and then we rub fingers together and his thumb on the fingers.
So, I am glad we have got the appointment tomorrow and, hopefully, we will find out if he is progressing alright or if there is more we need to do.
