Hope mr C is on the mend

Thank you all xxx

Well, what a palaver of a day that has been! Nurse rang an ambulance, and after much faffing and fiasco that I won't bore you with, they've kept him in overnight 🙄

He was pretty sanguine when I left, they'd set him up in a nice cool side room on his own. But then he rang me when I'd got home to say they'd shifted him into a roasting hot ward with a load of other people moaning and snoring, so I imagine he won't sleep much (given that me breathing lightly often disturbs him), and will likely not be quite so sanguine tomorrow when he sees the specialist 🙄

Hey ho. This is the first night he's ever spent in hospital in his life. 

I'm home and cosy, let's see what tomorrow brings. Can't imagine I'm going to get much work done at any rate 🙄

We both shoved a few things into a bag before we went to the docs, must have been a premonition... So he is furnished with charger, tablet & headphones to watch a film, his normal medication, toothbrush etc which at least makes things easier.

Oh poor Mr Cheery. It was Mr KK’s first night in a hospital recently and the whole experience made him pretty cross. The whole system is bursting at the seams! 

Hoping he sees the specialist early today and that there is something that can be done easily for him. 

Hugs to you.

Oh Cheery - fingers crossed Mr. Cheery is discharged to homecare ASAP!!! Sending healing vibes from us both xxx

Poor Mr C hope he makes a quick recovery and returns home soon x

Hope the specialist can sort Mr C out and he gets to come home today. Well done for being organised and him taking stuff just in case - it definitely paid off!

I think it was @foxgloves with all her talk of bag preparation that put the idea into my head! 😂 Definitely worth doing given the circumstances.

Just spoke to him, he's slept a bit but not seen anyone yet. I hadn't realised how restrictive visiting hours were on his ward - just three 1-hour slots through the day, and I've missed the first one 🙈 Heading over for the early afternoon one, and if he's not escaped by then, I'll just hang around in a cafe until the evening one. 

Not even going to try to work myself today. I'll need to set off in a couple of hours anyway, and the house is rather a tip - need a gentle breakfast and a bit of pottering I think.

Hate to say it but there is a Consultant and Junior Doctors strike on today and tomorrow so that may have an effect on whether or not Mr Cheery is able to be discharged.

Ah, didn't realise that, thanks for the heads up. Well, I'd rather he was in the hospital for the duration at least - although he may not agree with me! 😂

Oh Cheery, poor Mr Cheery - he must be very poorly indeed.  That's a good idea for you to not even try to work.  Sending more positive vibes.
