Well, seeing as I'm such an "epic failure" I will try hard to "save" everything today....and hope for the best. Ironically, the volumes that I had typed before the bloomin iPad decided to go to sleep were mostly about charging my mobile devices....little did I know that her ladyship's iPad was also badly in need of reviving....anyway....we now have more chargers plugged in to all sorts of pads, pods, blackberries and androids than the average patient after an big operation...I'll try to remember what most of yesterday's failed post was about.

The big plus point yesterday was that I didn't think we went backwards at any stage....and that may be the first day that's happened for some time. Jilly was dressed properly the whole day, and as she mentioned, we went out walking...I can't say I'm totally in agreement about the park....it is a very nice park...with a church next door....having said that, there were some very dodgy looking people in it if you looked closely enough...I had my eyes firmly on Jiily however, as her blood pressure is maybe the only thing that is a slight concern...still a little low this morning.... But then she did have a rather relaxing massage just now....I felt sleepy just watching. The nurse has just arrived to take stitches out from the "drain plug closing"....so I'm going to "save" and go and hold her hand...there may be some swearing as she's not going to have any local anaesthetic.....this could be interesting.

Right, we're back....and, as usual, that was different. The poor nurse said the words "right, this is the last one" three times!!! Anyway...all done now, and Jilly has a photo of said stitches to add to this evenings blog. We're now "discussing" pain relief....this morning at the doctors meeting Jill suggested, no asked, if she could reduce the pain killers (been quite a while now on heavyweight pills) and was told yes....the nurse has just come and noticed that them seem to have removed most of the pain relief completely.....what's going on??? The lovely nurse has gone off to "have words" with someone...it's of no consequence at the moment because lunch has just arrived...lentil soup, followed by tuna and sweet corn salad...hold me back....it must be my cue to get across the road to my little Cafe Roma for lunch (or is it queue).....not sure that I'll be sat outside today though...weather is very dull and murky....hopefully brighter later.
Time to save and post I think....no doubt there'll be more drivel after lunch...and I'm sure that i'll be getting pestered to " take the wife out for a walk"....thought I'd left all that sort of thing behind in Jersey!!!
Save.
Not posting yet....major fail if I do apparently...her ladyship wants to " add later"....suits me....off for lunch.
Tired this afternoon, needed a big sleep, the lovely lady in the next bed was just back from op, and so needed two hourly checks last night, it meant my night was a little disrupted ....
Anyway, sleep over, I was champing at the bit to get out for a walk, and it was lovely, managed half an hour before I was frog marched back into the hospital.
Friends over from Jersey LT and GT happened to be in London and popped by to see us this evening, it was nice it see familiar faces, and them to be able to take Steve out for quick supper, taking his mind off the fact that he was supposed to be in Jersey at the nomination meeting in St Martin... Despite my insistence he should fly back today, he wasn't having any of it..
Think that's all for tonight... Really hoping that finally things are on the 'up' !!
