Oh dear ... I posted this last night from home, but it's disappeared ...
Well, Sue should be out on Wednesday, all being well. She's lots better; she's on her feet, she's off the painkillers, and (best of all, she thinks) she's had the catheter out so she's got her knickers back on!

She's very slow on her feet, and getting in and out of bed is quite a job, but I could see an improvement between the afternoon and the evening. The HRT patches are due today, and I think Sue's expecting to be running around like a teenager when she has them. (Maybe that's what I need?)

I'm back at work today (no work, no pay), but I'll take some weeks off when I bring Sue home again. (For those that don't know, I live in Lichfield but work in Milton Keynes, about 75 miles away, and I stay in MK on weeknights.) Meanwhile, there are plenty of friends and family to visit. And of course, friends who can't visit but send messages ... it struck me yesterday that the Mudcat gives a whole new meaning to the expression "perfect strangers"!

Sue will be along to thank you in person when she gets home.

Steve
