Pleased you are home. I hope Mr Merlot continues to get better.

He's been in hospital for five weeks and is going stir crazy. He's not cured. They still haven't located the source of the infection that affected his heart but have ruled out all the 'nasties' (we hope)
We know he will have to return as an outpatient for various tests and treatment and valve replacement surgery is planned for the not too distant future but his IV antibiotics can now be given at home if the OPAT (outpatients antibiotic treatment) team can get everything in place.
His mood has been very low lately and this has prompted them to get him home ASAP so it's now up to me (and the dogs and cat) to buck him up!
I'm good at that 
Best wishes to you and Mr Merlot.
merlot, so glad to hear that you’re both safely at home and away from the craziness of the ward. It’s a good job you still have a sense of humour, hoping things will improve at a steady pace from now on x 
Glad you are both back home merlot.
Home at last. Just the usual five hour wait for pharmacy to get their act together.
A tedious drive home in heavy traffic but the fire is lit and the dogs are curled up beside him.
And...….relax!
Thank you all for your kind messages.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr Merlot and good luck with the nursing Merlotgran home is best if its possible.
Very good news Merlotgran. I did have a smile picturing the scene you described earlier and it is amazing that you could recount it with such good humour after all that you and your dh have been through. Hopefully he will be much happier once you get him out of the madhouse. What would we do without the Nhs but hospitals are no place to have to spend 5 weeks. Do take care of yourself as well as dh
Oh Merlot, you just didn't need this on top of everything else.
Sorry that I am a bit late to this thread, but hope that the discharge has happened and that MrMerlot is home safe and sound, and in his own comfy bed.
Make sure that you also take care of yourself.
Your dh's illness had passed me by, Merlotgran, I'm so sorry you have had such a terrible time this year, what with everything else as well.
Welcome home to your dh, his own bed and home cooking will be just the thing he needs! Look after yourself, too. X
This is the first I've read of your DH's illness merlot. Gosh you two have been dealt a terrible hand this year, haven't you.
My best wishes for his homecoming and speedy recovery away from the circus in the opposite bed 
That's all I can say about the man in the bed opposite. Hope they've put him in a room on his own now. Sounds like he gets all the company he needs on his phone.
