You know its very difficult to dig an escape tunnel from the 6th floor

I'm back with a little less bust on the left than I had last Thursday. I finally got a phone call from the hospital at 7pm to say they had a bed for me. I had given up and gone to bed to watch videos and sulk. I already had my bag packed and I was up dressed and knocking on my cousin's door in about 5 minutes, we did the 12 miles to the Royal Gwent ( known as the Gwent) in about 10 mins. I arived at the ward before the nurses had stripped and remade the bed. I was *not* going to give them a chance to change their minds. I was told I would only be in three days but they kept me in till Sunday and Saturday night was when I started looking in to the escape tunnel.

Sleeping wasn't as bad as I expected since there are small screne TVs at each bed and for £3.50 you get 24 hour TV with sound via head phones, better than earplugs for keeping out noises and I find the BBC 24 hour news very soporific.

I do have a question though 'Why when you do not have anything scheduled, operations, BP every four hours, medications etc do the nurses insist on waking you up at6.00 am for a cup of tea?' I don't even drink tea!

I'm so glad it's over, and all went well. (Apart from the 6 a.m. tea - perhaps it's because they think "Well *I'm* up, I'm going to wake everybody else up too"?)

Welcome back from the cooler! :-P

I'm glad it all went well. And how's your puter? Has it been fixed too?

I feel fitter than I have since the dratted thing erupted back in January, in fact I felt better in the recovery room than I have for months. Puter is still poorly, mainly because I just haven't had the energy to do anything about finding a programmer. How ever since I now will be off work for as long as I need to have my dressings changed daily(two to three weeks)and have to wait in until the District Nurse turns up I will have plenty of time to phone around and find somewhere that can do something with programing and cousin Beth will take it there for me. At the moment I can't travel by car as I can't use the seat belts without pain and I'm no masochist.

Ouch at the thought! But it's great you're feeling so much better with the source of toxins out of your system.

spacefall's not far from you; she'd know a good place to start.
