Saturday 12th March

Ewan Nic and I arrived at hospital at around 1120, Nic popped off to the assessment ward to visit a friend who has been admitted over the weekend. Lins is sitting in her chair when Ewan, and I arrive she has been sitting up since 9am.  A care assistant pops along Lindsey has rung her buzzer she needs to go to the loo and no longer has the catheter fitted.  You really do leave your dignity at the door when you go into hospital, as she is still immobile and has her ankle in a cast they use a hoist to help her onto a bed pan!!!  The nurse comes round with the painkillers and also a liquid potassium thing that she must drink ,it must taste awful her face is a picture when she drinks it. She has been sitting in her chair for 4 hours now and she is feeling tired and uncomfortable so she buzzes for the Nurses to put her back in bed. As soon as she is settled she falls into a deep sleep she looks so comfortable its the most untroubled sleep that she has had the whole time she has been here.David pops in on his way to football he sits with Lins while we grab some lunch. Later in the afternoon Heather  visits and she sneaks  Holly and Alex in they have been to the hospital loads while Lins has been her but this is the first time they have been in to see her she enjoyed seeing them and Heather put on an impromptu show with the furry animals you can act silly when you have your own little room .
