Well here we are again. Today we had our excitement before or should I say on our way to the hospital. I was driving along to the ferry terminal and suddenly heard an unusual banging noise. At first I didn't know what it was and then I wondered if it was the exhaust. It was getting louder and louder and soon became apparent that it was a flat tyre. We got to the ferry terminal at 12.15 for the 12.30 sailing but of course I couldn't take the car on the ferry. I drove around to a car park where opposite there just happened to be a garage. I went into the garage and said to a man there can you help me please, explained my situation, left him the key and caught the 12.30 ferry.
When we got to the hospital we found an empty bed and we thought goodness gracious what has happened to him now, where has he gone. He was sitting up in his chair which was hidden by the curtain, phew!! He had been there since 8.30 and seemed determined that he was going to stay there for as long as he could. He had been for a short walk up and down with no ill effects the small ward he is in. He slightly alarmed me because his eyes seemed to be bulging and this normally happens when he is agitated so I kept asking him to relax. As the day wore on it became apparent that his eyes must have been affected by the drugs because he was not really agitated. Apparently they had to change from morphine to another drug because he had started hearing voices.
He had not had the nutrition line put in because they only have a clinic for this on Tuesdays and Thursdays!!!! We are assured it will be put in tomorrow. The drain is still draining his lung but the amount of fluid coming out now is minimal.
I do feel he has turned a corner now and I expect to send much improvement in the next couple of days.
