New day...new Dougy...
took my sound advice after calling this morning and got in the shower....just some other grooming bits to do once i got there....and a walk round the whole perimeter of the ward without huffs and puffs and curses - even tried the pretend stairs...fun manoeuvre getting back down...
wasn't keen on the frozen mango pieces i took in - healthy change from icecream i thought - said they tasted of fish... thought his taste buds were off kilter - but they did!!
Basic nursing care is a little wanting...managed to persuade someone to change his bed whilst he was sitting out... guess they just think he's doing it all himself... which he can...just needs a little reminder! Guess we should be happy that he's considered a low dependent patient... the short term memory loss though needs some help now and again...
But, really good day - able to hold court with many lovely visitors and minimal pain relief...although he just called this evening wondering where we where and with a thumping headache...
Looking good for the big escape...just have to write my list of many questions to ask the team that keep popping up...
funny symbol popped up on the dashboard of the car driving home...'catalytic converter malfunction' - any ideas??!!
