Day 9 in hospital.

Today brought some good news in that the infected area is looking a bit better - so a few more days like that and they may let him home.

Bruce is still in bed with his foot up but has been able to encourage two of his other inmates as they both made first walks. One after surgery for a sport injury on Saturday and the other after being off his feet for 8 weeks - the other one is on crutcher's already. They all took over the TV room to watch Top Gear last night and didn't get to sleep till 11.30 because they were just yarning! The night before staff came in to ask who ever was making a racus noise to leave as complaints had come in about the noise coming from their room. Staff soon realised that it was a mix of patients not the visitors making the noise!! They are living in their own little microcosm with a great view of the city and the helipad and staff at their beck and call - not that hard really!

I start a new job tomorrow so won't be posting anything until later in the evening after I get home from visiting Bruce.

Take Care
