    After my friend’s recent experience in hospital, with all those beeping machines (and in his case not just the snoring but someone mentally ill shouting the odds) and nurses surgically attached to their computer trolleys, I suspect you are more than ready to get back home. 

    Look after yourself.

    Sorry to hear your news, Jackie.  Hope you recover quickly and that you get the best of care.

    Love and hugs,
