Having grown used to hospital waking times I came downstairs early enough this morning to watch all four days’ highlights of the first test match between England and Sri Lanka then dozed away the rest of the day with sporadic entry into my blog comments.
Later I posted:
This evening Jackie prepared a small portion of cottage pie and tender runner beans for me, followed later by ice cream.
It sounds just the way you should be spending the day, and much better to be under nurse Jackie’s excellent care.
Thank you so much, Merril
I agree with Donna
This sounds like a perfect way to spend the day, Derrick. Wishing you continued healing and recovery.
Thank you very much, Donna.
Ice cream is a great healer.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Take it easy, hope you can sit in your garden and heal
I hope to do that soon, Catherine. Thank you very much
You are doing it right, Derrick, one step and one day at a time! 👍🏻😊
Sounds like you are progressing. Jackie is a treasure. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, Pat
I know you are so so SO glad to be home! Home! Always much much MUCH more restful than those darn hospitals.
Yes, just take one day at a time. Rest. Heal. Continue to be a patient patient (Ha!) for Nurse Jackie! You are in great hands! 🙂
(((HUGS))) for you both!! ❤️❤️
Thank you very much from us both, Carolyn XX
Ice cream would brighten any bad day for me 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
I wholeheartedly agree with Carolyn lovely comments …
Thank you very much, Ivor
Rest and recuperate my friend 😊
Rest and ice cream are great healers.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Take care Derrick and get well soon.
Thank you very much, Arlene
I thought ice cream was for tonsillitis . . . (I seem to have managed to get my Reader back for a while. We will have to see if it lasts).
Good luck Quercus. Your observation is probably true – I did have a raw throat from what had been shoved down it to keep me breathing during the procedure. Thanks very much
I haven’t had a proper general anaesthetic for over 40 years – all my recent ones have been spinal, which they count as general even though you are awake. Now you mention it I recall the sore throat. Enjoy the ice cream. 🙂
Home is the best place to be to find calm and assurance. What a time for you. So sorry you are going through this, Derrick, but I love your spirit and continued humour.
Thank you so much, Val
Ice cream … a favourite post-operative dish.
I agree with Laurie, rest and ice cream are great healers. I can’t eat dairy as it triggers inflammation. Enjoy the ice cream for me, Derrick. 🙂
Will do. Thanks very much, Lavinia
I am glad you are taking rest.
Thank you very much, Lakshmi
Glad to read you’re taking it easy
Thanks very much, Sheree
Complete and speedy recovery, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Your Culinary Queen knows how to treat you 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
