Sorry everybody, I sent
this email last night, however nobody seems to have
received it, please let me know that it has arrived
safely, see below.
Hi Gang, having arrived at the hospital, feeling more than a little apprehensive, I was met by Steve Hansen and we had a chance to chat for 10 mins before seeing Dad. He was really please with his progress and explained that his kidneys had started to work again and hopefully this would be the last of the dialysis machine!! Fingers Crossed.
I was then pleasantly surprised to see Dad sitting upright in his bedside chair and I good form! We chatted quite normally about various things and I managed to stay until 3.15.
Dad managed to eat not only a Raspberry Jelly but also a Creme Caramel, I was very jealous, as they both looked so good!!
After an hour or so he was becoming a little uncomfortable and wanted to get back into his bed, so we arranged for this too be done. Whilst drinking some water in his bed, he managed to have a minor coughing fit and blew his Valve off in his throat! That instantly left him speechless. Simple Fix though, just plugged the valve back in and he could speak straight away again, this could be very useful later on!!
Dad was on the case the whole of the 2 hour visit, not once did he wander off to Never never land and I left feeling in a far better state to when I arrived.
He has now sent me away with a shopping list! Melon and sorbet for dinner tonight.
Let's see how he does with that.
That's all for now.
