Thanks for your thoughtful words Liz.

So far, no dramas. The bruises are turning a dark shade of yellow - mustard.

I feel fresher today. I went to my friends Hair Studio last night and she washed my hair without getting a drop of water on any of the bandages wrapped around my lower face, neck and throat. Usually she waves the water sprayer around like a baton and I get drenched. Job well done and much easier than trying to wash it over a basin or something, we tried that when I had the trachestomy, and it didn't work.
