No update on the medical side yesterday, I think with it being a bank holiday the on call doctor did not do a ward round. I’m not really expecting to see him today unless there is a problem with the blood sample they took this morning (as they do every morning).
On the plus side my nurse was running a bit late this morning and I was her last patient so got to sleep in until 7:30 (obviously somebody woke me up at 6:00 to take my blood pressure). The extra time in bed just snoozing was very relaxing.
Yesterday was very pleasant Isabel was able to spend the full visiting time from 12 to 8 pm with me (and a bit more – as I said yesterday the staff don’t think of her as a visitor any more). As a very nice surprise she brought in a hot dinner for our lunch. She got two vacuum flasks designed for food instead of drinks that she filled one with freshly cooked rice and the other with a freshly cooked curry. Both were still piping hot when they turned up (our house is only about 10 minutes drive from the hospital). She turned up with the food in a proper picnic hamper (thanks Toby) with plastic wine glasses (for some non-alcoholic drink). To save on the washing-up we ate off Union Jack printed paper plates and had a cup of tea out of Union Jack printed paper cups – it felt like we had our own little street party.
I now have high hopes for lunch today…
… 9k on the exercise bike again yesterday, Les nearly matched that on his first go – don’t forget Les it has taken me about a month (and lots of drugs) to work up to that so don’t over do it…
