Today we had our usual visit from a district nurse. It was a different one as our regular one had the day off after working the Bank Holiday weekend. The regular nurse arrived each day at about 9.10am so I rose early to be sure we were ready for the visit as usual. However, the new nurse did not arrive until 11.00am, followed one minute later by the occupational therapist delivering a bed lever to help Pauline get out of bed. During this hiatus of activity the phone rang and it was the consultant anaesthetist from the Pain Clinic following up on Pauline's operation and any pain involved. As the nurse left the house the phone rang again and it was the community physio making an appointment to call in a couple of days.
The morning had been quiet until then and suddenly we were bombarded by help! The good news is that Pauline has had her clips removed and is now resting for the remainder of today. Each day brings an element of progress and I am looking forward to seeing how Pauline is tomorrow. When I called at the pharmacy following "the visits" they were all enquiring how Pauline was. There is a very large support network here in this corner of Anglesey!
