Thread: Some not so good New Year's news.

Tuesday 9th January.

Out around 6:00. A beautiful sunrise with a hotair balloon silhouetted against pink and orange clouds. Magnificent.
Visiting doesn’t start until 11:00 so I at last got a chance to read my Saturday paper.
Got to the hospital bang on 11:00, to find that She’d been back in surgery and the stent had been inserted this morning about 8:00; so that was all good. The Doctor turned up on his rounds and said She could possibly go home today around 4:00 depending upon what happened in the interim. It also turned out that Bathy had rung her ‘cos he and Tina had not seen anything new on the Mavericks’ site and were getting a little bit concerned. But She was able to reassure them that all was good. Appreciate your concern people; thanks for that!
She was taken for an EKO (?) scan around 1:15, returned to the ward still in the bed about 1:45.
And we waited.
Eventually the nurse came and removed all the inlets and outlets in her arm and plastered the holes over, gave me a foolscap paper of prescriptions to take to the Chemist to be filled so that when She leaves She’ll have the appropriate drugs already to hand.
When she returned with all the pills I took one look and said “Buddy L! She’s going to be cheap to feed from now on; with all these inside her She won’t be hungry!”
She laughed, and I returned to the ward with a paper bag full of drugs.
The nurse came and left; then came back with pass-out papers and a Donk (see Crocodile Dundee,) with a wheelchair.
Loaded the patient into the wheelchair, loaded the bags on top of her, and headed for the car.
Back at the motel at 4:45.


And left for home the next morning.
All is good in the world.
The feeling of relief is absolute.
