Well back on my old blog, what scared me? the number of people coming to read a slightly dramatic title I wrote. I live a quiet life, am happy with it and also chattering on my blog. Maybe in a nonsensical way and also in an angry mood when I contemplate the mess this country is in.
Well my love is back home from the hospital, don't ask me to write too much when I am worried, really truly worried, my thoughts would be all over the place.
Yesterday he phoned late in the morning that he had been transferred to another ward from the assessment ward, then at lunchtime he phoned to say he was in the discharge lounge.
So I leapt in the car and drove through the country lanes. It takes a good hour to the hospital, but the countryside is beautiful. If I go the Terrington way past the gorgeous country estate of Castle Howard, this is Christina's way, but Irene goes the Hovingham way, through Sheriff Hutton past its magnificent ruined castle on the hill and then Strensall. Both my friends had accompanied me on previous visits.
Then you hit the ring road round York, something I dread, but my confidence has returned with driving and now the ring road and its three traffic islands no longer seem the worst thing to tackle.

Back to Paul, glad to be home, shocked by what had happened, a bag full of protein drinks and pills.
Full marks to the NHS for the wonderful care and attention says he, York Hospital is a very busy district hospital, but runs with a calm efficiency that is marvellous to behold. God help us though if the computer system broke down.
The only complaint he had was of the wretched behaviour of two badly behaved male patients, one of whom spent the night shouting at the nurses.
Now I have to feed him up, a diet sheet lies on my desk, not too difficult, small meals but plenty of carbohydrates and protein.
That's a relief to have your mister back home - though I still don't understand his complaint. Lovely picture of Sheriff Hutton Castle. I must visit it some time. For a while I was concerned when I saw that your blog was only open to invited visitors. I thought - "Where's my invitation?" Ho-hum.
ReplyDeleteWell let us say a little too much beer in the past, but no serious damage was done, only that he got a severe bout of odeoma. He is now home as happy as Larry, if that is the expression. Actually there is a funny side to this but I will spare him his blushes.
DeleteMy curiosity gauge has now zoomed up higher.
DeleteWell you know what happened to the cat when curiosity got it... Just looked for a Shiitake mushroom recipe and Bosh was the first to come up, so publicity is obviously working.
DeleteNo need to swear.
DeleteI know what a relief it is to pick up your partner from the hospital. I wish you both better days ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you Arleen, it has been a worrying time, not helped by the fact that Paul refused to go to the doctors for weeks. He now realises that this was not the best of options, and will always go in the future - thank god!
ReplyDeleteNow he is going to have to do as he is told. I have a friend who has recently had a similar scare - at least in good time to change their ways and get back on the right health road. Hope all goes well for you both.
ReplyDeleteHe has promised Pat and he always keeps to his word, so grateful to have him back home ;)
DeleteHope everything continues in the right vein! Have a good weekend.

And the same to you Aril, not too many bells ringing on those shoes, or Knees? The Winchester table in the cathedral is exactly right for government at the moment, no one is superior.
