The consultant came to see me very early and asked how I was doing. He had a little look at Titty and he was happy for me to be discharged. He reminded me about doing the physio, but gently at first.
I thought I'd be out in no time. Alas no, there were procedures to follow, other patients to discharge and lots of other tasks to do. I was asked what I wanted for lunch and I said i'm going home. It was suggested I order lunch as I might be waiting a while .... !!! And I ate lunch later that day a delicious beef stew. I was chomping at the bit to leave as I wanted my own bed.
I eventually left around 3.30 pm ish and Janice and Beastie came to pick me up. We walked out to the car park to find Beastie and had the slight challenge of climbing into him as I couldn't use my left arm to pull me up.
I'd put some money aside to get fish and chips off the chippie van which came round on Wednesdays. I listening for the horn beeping but that day, there was no beeping. We were in a quandary... what shall we have? We debated for sooo long. In the end we opted for chip shop and Janice drove to the village. I devoured a chicken burger and chips.
I remember going to bed at some point after food. Janice lay down beside me and we were watching some shite on our phones (it was a selling site with a live auction of ladies clothes!!!). I did take some tablets and whilst lying in bed I commented to Janice that I felt like I was floating!! I didn't take any more of them. I stuck to paracetamol. After the selling site finished, Janice departed my bed and set up camp in the living room on the settee.
Having her there and not being alone I think I slept better. I slept heavy, probably making up for the weeks of insomnia.
When I got up to go the loo, I held Titty as if she were going to fall off!! Infact I walked around like that for a while. Protecting her maybe as she is precious and needs to be treated with love and gentleness.
