“I also communicated
with people using the useful “text to many” system (not all of which I’ve
kept). The replies say a lot about my
various friends and relations.”
We were in the trauma ward at the top of the building
with a view out of the window into a light well of brick walls and frosted
glass windows, and up to a triangle of sky and the underneath and keep-net of
the helicopter pad. The down draught
from landing helicopters would cause the unlatched window to be pushed open
then sucked shut.

13.16 Mrs Leftfoot – Lovely to see you yesterday and
it definitely sounded like a good day.
Is Fester with and/or still coming in?
Coz I can come in this afternoon if not.
13.22 to Mrs Leftfoot – Fester came early. Then Thunderthighs fresh from Greggs. We all had a little lunch together. They’ve gone home so further visitors
welcome.
14.37 to Bazoukiboy – He’s bored but content with
his tablet. I’m doing a lot of reading,
knitting and lying down.

18.14 Mrs Leftfoot – All okay? How is the foot? It ended up with Daughters One and Three and
me all lying in bed together this morning.
We then went to see mum with Son Two.
Daughter Three has such a way with her and it worked out really
well. Then a trip to the Tesco at
Kingston Park … a bit of a treat. I’ve
just sorted the car insurance and it is a big weight off my mind. Daughter Three is cooking dinner. I hope the doctor has some good news for you
tomorrow. xx
18.22 to Mrs Leftfoot – Fester came in. I went home for a bath, hairwash, change of
clothes/book/knitting pattern & email clearing. Ernextdoor gave me a lift back. Love to u et al x

09.11 Text to Many – Ferretfingers has had a bed
bath & clean pyjamas for today’s ward round/wound view. Everything crossed.
09.17 Pearl – Indeed I have the prayer mat out.

Monday 7 April 2025 18.20 – RVI
Two helicopters today which might explain why nobody
senior has been to see Ferretfingers.
A sweet little houseman (female veiled) turned up
after lunch and asked a few general questions.
She attempted to reply to my questions but seemed to know even less than
me; telling me very little I didn’t already know or not know.
So here we are still.
Ferretfingers had beans with both lunch and tea
today; so tomorrow should be interesting.
The stuff coming out of him ankle into the canister
is more straw coloured than red.
A good
sign? Who knows?
18.36 Text to Many – No movement today. Only medic seen a sweet little junior house
officer who asked general questions & seemed to know less than me. 2 helicopters today so they’ve been busy.
18.48 to Dr E – I’m afraid even after he’s out there
will be twice weekly dressings clinics.
I can’t see Fester taking him so I’m having to accept I can’t go south
this Spring. I wonder if Mrs Fitz sister
could take my place gratis. Or even
MrDrE. Or another lady
18.50 DrE – I think I booked so that we can cancel,
will check tomorrow.
18.51 DrE – You can always visit later and see the
sites. Can offer double bed and double
sofa bed.
18.56 Middlesister – Someone should have seen
u. Has Ferretfingers had his dressing
checked as you were told?xx
19.10 to Mrs Eft – Have told DrE I won’t be able to
make the Coven as Ferretfingers will have to be taken to dressings clinics and
I can’t see Fester doing it. I’ve phoned
Mrs Fitz and suggested her sister might take my place. Really p’d off I won’t see the Niece and
Griblings.
20.00
I’ve texted Dr E as I won’t be able to make the
Coven due to dressings clinics.
Phoned
Mrs Fitz to offer my place to her sisters as Mrs Eft has has to pull out
too.
What really upsets me is that I
won’t be able to go on to Bournemouth to see the Niece, the Griblings and
Nephew-in-law. I was looking forward to
that even more than the Coven to be honest.
But I suppose I’ll be able to catch up on the ironing and gardening.
Thoroughly pissed off.
Today is Dad’s anniversary. Shoulders back.
Chin up!
Cofiwch Gwraig Lot.
