Oh Chookie you must feel like throwing a tantrum. Go ahead and do it. I do hope Ral is home soon. Then you will both be able to settle down and get on with things. Hugs to you both.

Visited a little coffee shop where the owner is a real' foodie'.  I had a slice of his  morning tea cake,  which really was my lunch. 
He uses his leftover muffins,  especially the chocolate chip ones,  crumbles them up,  adds some walnuts, and makes the liquid mix for bread and butter Pud and mixes it all together. Baked in cake tin,  dressed with chocolate syrup when out of oven.   Served with vanilla ice cream. Yummy.
I haven't felt like cooking,  so this may mean that things are on the improve. 
I think that any cake could be used,  but the chocolate certainly add character.
When I worked at the Hyatt they used to do that with all the leftover croissants and muffins from breakfast and serve it in the staff cafe and it was YUM!
Sorry to hear about yet another setback chookie, hope Ral will be out of there for good soon.

Interesting,  Deedub.  Can't wait to try this myself. 
Poor Ral has a Staf infection.  But a treatable one. Looks like he will be in hospital for a couple more weeks. 
Paul took me up to Cherokee today,  he mowed the lawn and filled the wood boxes. I did a general tidy up, did washing and cooked us lunch.
Will be nice to eventually go home.

Chookie there is not a doubt  my mind that this infection is iatrogenic . I sincerely hope it is not a methicillin resistant strain.. I am sure he is on a drip with antibiotics given in the bag. I hope so anyway. As soon as the drip is removed I would be taking him home and if you can't manage then getting some home nursing to assist.  I really hate this and it makes me livid so don't get me started. Enough is enough for Ral and you both.

Once he is well enough then hightail it home where he is safe. Don't for goodness let any bugger near him without visible hand cleaning , especially the doctors. Buy a big bottle a alcohol based hand cleaner and wipe every bl**dy thing  he touches and don't you get sick either.

I could just scream I am so angry. I want nasal swabs of everyone near him. Lemme at em!

Sorry to hear that Chookie, hoping DH will be home soon.  My DH ended up with a staph infection also when he went into hospital a few years back now.  They could not give antibiotics so we were on our own.  Our doctor told us it was the staph and the hospital variety.  It seems to be par for the course these days, go in without it and come home with it.
Love to you both Chookie  :-* :-*

So sorry to hear this Chookie, you were so close to going home.  Gert is on the money there and knows how these things happen so I can understand why she's livid.  Glad you were able to have a day at home doing normal things.  Love to you both.

Oh chookie, how awful. Gert's advice is spot on.
Keep smiling and wave the anti bac bottle at everyone who comes to see Ral.
Huge hugs and so glad you went home, just for a day.

Oh Chookie what an absolute bugger. I agree with Gert and sincerely hope it is not the bad staph infection.
Keep an eye on everyone treating him and that they wash their hands.
Most importantly take care of yourself. It was good that you could get back home for a short while.

So sorry to hear about the set back for your DH.  I hope he starts to improve soon. I can only agree with everyone else about making sure that anyone that goes near him has washed their hands with some sort of antibacterial hand wash.  Make sure you look after yourself as well.
