- Catheter out
- Oxygen tubes removed
- Able to walk small steps to en-suite toilet

Each patient has there own "mini-bar" fridge by each bedside. There also a bedside TV with touch screen for access to TV, BBC iPlayer, movie channels, and the Internet. You can tell this used to be a Private Hospital!
The mini-bar is now overflowing with appetising morsels of fruit salad, smoothies, grapes and orange and pomegranate juice. I decided to leave out the Gordon's for now.
That's all.
Carry on.

Dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteyou've been loads in our thoughts and prayers, especially when we are up in Walsingham. A candle is burning brightly for you there (at least at weekends) and we look forward to seeing you at some stage in the not too distant future. Sr Gabi and I will be away on mission for 12 days from this Thursday but we'll definitely be in touch on our return.
with love, Sr Camilla et al COLW
