Each day I see a difference in Jimmy. He is still suffering with nausea but yesterday they took down the morphine drip and this seems to have reduced the nausea a little bit more today.
I saw Prof this morning and he said that it is all up to Jimmy now. As soon as he is more independent and eats he can be discharged. Prof was a bit concerned that Jimmy spiked a temperature last night but he said they will just keep an eye on this.
So now it's the hard task of getting him to eat and when he does, more than a few spoons. Prof told me no more soup, he has to starting eating solids and he must have 2 shakes a day. So we had a little pep talk. There was a fire on Ou Kaapseweg this morning and the road was closed so I had to go through Fish Hoek and then Boyes Drive was jammed with fire engines too and a long tailback of cars so I only got the hospital at 12:30. I asked him why he hadn't got up yet and why he hadn't showered. He also needs to stop using the bottle to wee in as he needs to build up his strength and walk to the toilet. He wasn't very impressed.
