Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. The sky is clear, just the odd scrap of cloud drifting lazily by, and there is no air movement. Going to be a hot one again. I wish it was like this all year round!

Nothing on the oracle for today, I'm sure something will occur. Tomorrow is the Summer Walk at the hospice.I'll be there in my capacity of first marshal, that's the main road crossing.

Have a happy day everyone.

morning Kva xx

I will, he's struggling at the moment but also won't do anything the nurses ask wants me there all the time. Already phoned me twice to say he wants me to come straight away. I have to wait until the OT s bring and fit some equipment but they have given me an 1130-1530 slot , I hope they are sooner rather than later.

speak to the ward sister about being more flexible re your visiting times... I was allowed unlimited anytime visits when dad was very bad after such a request..obviously I left when he was being attended to...

[rowanwitch]

Visiting is 11-8 but I used to work in oncology so I already have flexibility I.e they owe me some favours. His consultant was a house officer back then and I know her pretty well too. Two of my friends are matrons and I may ask for help if I run into trouble.

look after yourself too Rowan... I know from experience how easy it is to neglect yourself when caring and worrying..remember to eat .. I found sometimes I wasn't eating 'till very late at night..purely because I forgot to, was too preoccupied.. and share your worries and fears...it does help ... biggest hugs to you both xx
