Frank started this morning by working with the Physiotherapist on his walking. He's coming on but is lacking in confidence and so not walking unassisted at present.
He then had a visit from the Rev Kingsley Joyce, Chaplain from Naples. He brought Communion for Dad which he enjoyed. Frank had been looking forward to the Communion Wine - a break from just drinking Adam's Ale for the last three weeks - but was disappointed as only bread was offered.
Frank is back on oxygen to assist with his breathing after his exercising this morning. He feels that his lungs are not as they should be and has had chest x rays. We are awaiting the results.
On a positive note, he's been having ECG'S on a daily basis and the results are good. The nurses are trying to take regular blood samples as well but we think his blood has dried up in the Italian heat!
After all the excitement this morning plus the lunchtime visit from Beryl and Elizabeth, Frank was very tried. He's got into the routine of having a siesta each day and feels he will miss these when we return to the UK. During his spare moments he has now started planning on how he can incorporate his siesta into his busy daily schedule!
