Duke of E.

[Jemisa]

I heard today that the Duke could be in hospital for up to 2 weeks,makes me think there could be complications then. He had a stent put in & normally people are out within 4 days.
I had open heart surgery to put in a new artery & unblock 2 ventricles and was out on my 7th day. I know the Duke is 90, but it makes you think there could be complications doesn't it?

Maybe a way of getting the old bugger to slow down for a couple of weeks, have to say though, the Queen looked a little forlorn without him yesterday

They`ve got to be 100% sure before they allow anyone like him home, just in case.

according to a cardiologist on Breakfast on Christmas Day - I think it was - the length of stay is mainly governed by the amount of damage suffered by the heart muscle during the attack. Added to this is the patients age and his/her general health. So maybe plusses and minuses all over the place and the hospital isnt likely to check HIM out to free up for a commoner are they!

Sorry that was a bit harsh on the hospital.

I must apologise I heard on the radio (or I thought I heard) the Duke would be in H for a fortnight, DOH! what was really said was he'll be there for a "Fourth Night"..
I've had one of my SMs again. Sorry folks.

He's just been driven out in a convoy, but made no comment (prince flipflop, that is) - come on sqaddy, your turn!

[Sqad]

boxy with a bit of luck, I should be out on New Years Day.

Please no press releases
