He is home today!! (Last night actually). The guy making the cast was on his way into the hospital on Tuesday, so we waited, waited, waited, then eventually went to sleep. Yesterday he said he would be in between 1 and 2pm, so I went up and we waited, waited, waited some more and eventually at 7pm he turned up and we were home about 9.30 last night. So it was a long, long drive for him (cast man) from Dandenong to the city, over 24 hours!
It was weird thinking that Simon was finally coming home, we had almost become used to him just being in hospital even only after 14 days. The kids are pretty excited to have him back. Every day they were asking when he would be back (which I couldn't answer) and commenting on what a long time he was in hospital for this time.
He has a big fat cast on which has to be locked straight when he is walking so it's pretty tricky, but he is slowly getting the hang of it. It's a pretty serious cast but protects his leg if he accidentally puts weight it, so once he gets used to it, it will be really good.
He is mainly resting today, but feeling OK. His hands and left arm are still making things difficult and painful for him which he finds so frustrating, but he is very happy to be home. It's been a nice day.
