day 91

My last day before going into hospital and weather wise it was pretty miserable. The type of rain would be defined by the Scots as Dreich. That is a thin fine persistent drizzle. It didn't clear up until quite late this afternoon.
We made a list of things to take to hospital. It's quite a lot to remember. Ev did an excellent job of making sure we had everything we need. As I have said many times on this blog what would I do without her.
We went for a meal to our favourite Italian Restaurant. It wasn't as relaxing as we had hoped partly because the music centre kept playing Andrea Boccelli and partly because of a bloke sitting behind Ev talking loudly throughout. The food was alright though.
Well the time has come and we leave for the Hospital in Southampton at Lunch Time. As I am likely to remain in that place for most of the next 2 weeks, I won't be able to write anything here for a while. Ev will let you know how things are progressing. However she will until I am on a general ward be staying with a friend of Andrea's in Southampton. As a result it may well be four or five days before she is able to put anything on this blog. So if you don't see anything on here for a few days it will literally be a case of no news is good news.
Cards and messages of support have continued to come. It was nice to get cards from amongst others Christopher, Gillian and Harry plus a card from Gillian's Mum and Dad. Thanks also to Ev's sister in law Pat for her thoughtfulness and to Ev's brother Godfrey for his concern. If you have sent a card or greeting and I haven't mentioned you by name please don't be offended. I value every message of support.
For the time being then cheerio and I hope to be back here in short order. I know that difficulties in the short run will be more than compensated by long term improvements in health.
