More progress? Or is it?

Well, just as a quick update, the FIL is recovering quite well. He’s out of HDU and back onto a regular ward. It seems to be little thanks to the hospital who are largely leaving him alone and apparently just hoping that he will all heal up and get stronger on his own. “What about physio?” we asked last night only to be told that they weren’t going to bother with any. “Oh”, the nurse said airily, “all that can be done once we transfer him to the local hospital”. “And when will that happen?”(We asked) – “Hmmm…” she said. “How long is a piece of string?”

Actually that’s not what she said at all, what she said was that they would transfer him when a bed became available and when they could get transport – presuming of course that those two things coincide – after all, he is ‘on the waiting list’ now…so everything is bound to be alright.

I shall update you in two years when he gets to the top of the list then, shall I?
