At 4pm today, Dad was taken by ambulance back to The Alfred. His body temperature rose to 39.7 degrees C and he became weak and had no appetite. It appears an infection has once again reared its ugly head.
Since Wednesday Dad has enjoyed being at home with the good food, and Chloe (the dog) and of course Mum and Oma to help look after him. However I think it was pretty tough having to carry his arm around (with the metal fixtures still in place) and not having his full strength back yet. I think getting around the house was a little more difficult than Mum and Dad had expected.
For now Dad will stay in the hospital, and tomorrow he is scheduled to have the metal scaffolding removed from his arm. He will also have a clean up of an inflamed lump where they took a donor artery in the first surgery (for his arm) on Day 1.
