First, a note about yesterday’s absence, brought about by the demise our Wi Fi router.
I produced a number of photographs which are essential to the post which will have to wait until my return home.
Dawn had not yet arrived when we reported at New Hall Hospital reception for my right knee total replacement. Because I was first on, Jackie stayed until I was led to the theatre, then went home, returned this afternoon, and took
this photograph.
After my first replacement last May, I was pretty groggy and couldn’t eat any of the lovely food.
Very early this evening I really relished flavoursome tomato and basil soup with a warm bread roll; perfectly cooked, well filled, ham omelette with roast new potatoes; and fresh salad; finishing with fine fruit salad. I dank water followed by very good coffee.

Good news. Glad you are able to eat.
Thanks very much, Sherry
You have my empathy Derrick, i’ve been in that position a few times the last 6 years (Kidney failure/transplant) but you seem to be holding up nicely and that grub does not look to bad at all! 🙂
Hope your knee and your recovery both go well. and you’re back out in the forest with the ponies and donkeys and ducks very soon. 🙂
Very many thanks, Bob
Ah, here’s the answer to my question! You had a second knee done after the other was done last year. Good for you for going through it a second time. (BTW, that food looks scrumptious! My hospital food did not resemble it when I had my knee done!)
Thanks again Jan
Wow! That’s some scrumptious looking food. Not the standard hospital fare!
Quite so, Gwen. Many thanks
You’rre becoming quite a dab hand at this knee thing! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thanks very much, Lindsey
Hello Derrick, I hope you are feeling better.
Getting there, Micheline. Many thanks
