Many thanks again to all.

There is no change to Terry's condition today, except I won the battle, via the hospital matron, to have all the elastoplast removed with some special stuff and replaced with more tissue-skin friendly stuff and managed to get her hair washed, she was worried about this before she collapsed as she was too weak to have a shower.

Took a break from the hospital tonight. One of my daughters cooked a Christmas Eve dinner for the family at her place. It was subdued, sad and tearful, but wonderful (not to mention my 1st cooked meal in a week).

I wish you all a very wonderful and special Christmas with your families.
