Lucky Mr SA not having the normal worries adults have & then also not having the extraordinary worries that crop up from time to time.

I’ve tried to call DD tonight and it’s gone straight to voicemail. I guess her phone battery has gone. I don’t suppose she thought to grab her charger. What a blooming worry though 🙁I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Delurking to say sorry to hear about your daughter. Do you know the ward she is on? Hospitals generally have a number /switchboard you can call and ask to speak to a specific ward. Might be worth it for a bit of reassurance. Hope you have some news soon. Sending sympathy - the not-knowing is horrible. M1003

I'm sure they would let you know if there was any cause for concern - via your DS if necessary. She will have used her phone quite a bit I imagine.Sun_Addict said:I’ve tried to call DD tonight and it’s gone straight to voicemail. I guess her phone battery has gone.

And yes - that's some hill!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I’m awake super early just can’t settle plus I’m really thirsty so my Chinese meal last night must’ve been too salty.It’s Mr SA’s birthday today so it will revolve around him shopping no doubt. I did bring some extra money in anticipation of this.Had a message from Jet2 to say they’re picking us up at 12.20 on Tuesday and quite honestly it can’t come soon enough. I’m longing to get back home. I feel so helpless stuck out here.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Morning all part 2 😆
I went back to bed in the end and managed to get some sleep although kept having mini nightmares and waking up briefly. That was probably the salt again.Will try and call DD again later. I realise the hospital would call if it was urgent.Mr SA has added T-shirt to his birthday list. I also need to pick up a fake designer bag DD has asked for. Will probably need a gin after that shopping trip 😆
Need to seriously think about whether to try and change the July holiday. Unless DD makes a rapid recovery I don’t feel comfortable leaving her again so soon after this one. It will depend on what’s wrong with her whether the insurance will pay for cancellation.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
All the birthday shopping will give you something to concentrate on at least 🌷
Have you paid up the July holiday, or just the deposit? I’d imagine the deposit would be easier to move.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
