Update

Not much of one I'm afraid.They still haven't touched Freddie's leg. They have fitted a shunt in his hand and are giving intravenous antibiotics.
I guess they won't do anything until they can stop the infections, so it looks like being a long job.
We speak several times a day and he seems quite settled now he's actually there.
He had several cups of coffee in the night  from the Night Nurse. It turns out she has the same surname as us, comes from a village about 10 miles from us and Freddie knows her father and family!
No wonder she gave him plenty of treats!

I think I have got my head around things now and feel a bit more settled.
'Do as much as you can and as little as you need.................'
That was the good advice given me today by dear cousin F, bless him.

Apart from even more back pain I am managing.
Thank you all so much for your good wishes and prayers.
They mean so much...
Love and Hugs,
