Not much change with Lins today. When I get there she is sitting up in her chair, Nic has done her hair and Heather has been in to see her and painted her nails bright pink and also brought bright pink bobbles to match her plaster cast. She didn't eat her lunch which was Irish stew so she had a prawn sandwich from the shop instead. Its such a lovely sunny day out there so we ask if its possible to lift Lins into a wheelchair so she can go outside.  This is a major task but the care assistants are so helpful and 10 mins later she is in the wheelchair and off we, go her first hint of fresh air for a month, she really enjoyed it. We  gave her a tour of the hospital and went up to the restaurant for a drink ,its on the 5th floor so you get a really good view.We sat Lins by the window so she could see all the coming  and going she liked this a lot and even seen the helicopter  going out on a rescue, by the time we took her back to the ward is was dinner time and she was quite tired and wanted to get back into bed.
