Yesterday I was overjoyed to receive a text message from Pauline to say she had walked with the aid of crutches as well as a frame. On visiting her in the evening I found her absolutely exhausted. Going through the trauma of falling, breaking a major bone, being treated in A & E, having an operation and then having to learn to walk again is incredibly tiring to the human body. In addition was the nausea when she started to walk and the setback that proved to be. She has been through the mill!
Yesterday was spent, apparently, calling the nurses when a new patient with dementia kept getting out of bed against orders! Time passes slowly in hospital, even with books and a Kindle to read. I should think she will be home by middle to late next week and then my job really starts! This weekend sees Sue and family visiting from Rochdale so I have to go to Llandudno to buy fish for the coming month. Mermaid Seafoods is the only decent fish company in the area that is open for retail sales. It's situated at the rear of an industrial estate and necessitates the negotiation of many bumps and potholes as well as the avoidance of vehicles parked here and there. But the prices and quality are very good.
