hawkeye Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Well the latest on Martin i spoke to Jackie last night and she thinks a top class i pad with all the trimmings for him would be best she rang the hospital yesterday ( no visiting C19 ) and he is coming along a lot better than the hospital first thought yesterday he had taken his feeding tube out got out of bed and walked over to the window and was stood looking out when one of the nurses when in to check on him, apparently he got a good telling of for getting up without any help... Jacki said his sisters keep trying to call him but he just cuts them off so they have demanded that when they call him there is a nurse there with him so he cannot do that... Its good news that he is walking a few steps unaided after the hospital thought he would never leave there Jacki thinks a few more weeks and he might be moved into a care home for recovery..
