Desperance (Monday update)

[durham_rambler]

I have just called the RVI again and they tell me that desperance will be going back into theatre to have the infection washed out again so, contrary to expectations he won't be returning home today.

Update 8:30pm: desperance has been back to the theatre and he's "absolutely fine" now, but they will probably keep him in till Wednesday. The main problem is that he's run out of reading material, though someone has been dispatched to his house to bring back further supplies. None of the books in Ward 20 is suitable, it seems!

I've not long been back from the RVI - having stupidly taken the car into town on a match night, then trawling the city for a parking space, I got there with 15 minutes of visiting time left...

We did stretch it to three-quarters of an hour, though. He is reduced to Terry Brooks (insert rofl here), but fresh supplies of bookage will arrive tomorrow. His notes say he's due to be discharged Weds or Thurs, depending on whether the nurse read the doctor's handwriting correctly. I am also advised that morphine is good.

I have to remember to sign these things...

well yes, that helps. But what really helps the rest of us is knowing there are folk like you (collectively) within useful distance supplying books, chocolate, whatever.

As younger son observed when I was passing on the latest news, 'it's not like we can really pop up and visit (from here in the Cotswolds). Damn.'

So, thanks, all. Jules

I always see these way too late - thank you for keeping us posted. If you see him again before he comes home, say "get well" and so on.

You know the remedy for that, Simon!
