Hello everyone!
I made it!
Am weak. But things going well so far.

Chest tubes out this morning (an interesting experience!). All seems to be going well. Doctors very pleased with my progress.

Only just got my hands on my phone.

One day in Overnight Intensive Recovery unit (OIR).
Then High Dependency Unit. I’ve now just walked (very tentatively!) to the main ward overlooking Houses of Parliament and the River Thames.

Will do a proper write-up as soon as possible and soon as I can adjust my brain and body.
The very best to all!

View from the ward

Excellent news! Thanks for the update

Congratulations! One day at a time. Each day gets better.

So cool. Your post brought back memories. Life is a journey. Welcome to the zipper club. Why don't you hobble over to Parliament and sort that **** out?

Walk as much as you can around the ward. Get one of those watches that count steps (that's what I did).

Seaton -- so good to hear from you so soon! Taking walks with the nurses already, eh -- that's super! And what a magnificent view out the window! Very much looking forward to further updates.

It's great to know that you're back. My view out the window was some dingy streets and an Astroburger hamburger joint (I think). Perhaps there was NO view.

I look forward to seeing more good news from you.

And, yes, it should get easier all the time...

Bewdy
Didja bring KimChi?
Take it slowly and look after yourself

 

[Seaton]

No KimChi on this occasion but the hospital lactulose seems to have done the trick in no time at all after a difficult start

 

[Duffey]

Glad to see you back!

 

[dornole]

Wishing you a smooth and encouraging recovery!!
