Recently, I was working with a family, who elderly couple, the husband was bed-bound with severe memory deficits, and the elderly wife was his only caretaker.
Intensive treatment units filled to capacity make the headlines, but it's just as often the slow, bed-bound recoveries that are placing such immense pressure on the NHS.
During this time when she was bedridden, her father helped to set up a specially made easel to hang over her bed, so that she could spend her days painting.
