Woke up early this morning.
Ma Yan went to Diamond Court to pick up some clothes for me at 6:30am. They called me to confirm that I agreed to her being allowed in the room. They then sent an escort with her, so I had to make a call to say that I would be responsible, and to leave her alone. That did not work, so Ma Yan spoke to the front desk and it was sorted.
I took the opportunity to zimmer to the bathroom, I then opened the curtains, and got back into bed. I feel I will be doing alot of moving around today, so I will take my rest when I can. Breakfast in bed for the last time.
The plan is for discharge at 10am. We shall see how that goes.
Ma Yan arrived from work at about 5:40pm. Not long after, Nigel turned up after having cycled in from his apartment. I was on the phone with International SOS when he arrived, (more of which later). Then my tuna salad arrived. Then Jamo and Tracey appeared. Bit of a roomful!
My call was not a particularly good one. International SOS will deliver me to Warwick Hospital A&E, so that I can be seen by an Orthopedic Surgeon. Based on his thoughts on my mobility, I might not be allowed to go to Mum and Dad’s. I am not going to be very happy after travelling from Shanghai and then going straight to the hospital. As it is A&E, and not an appointment, I will have to wait until a surgeon is available. Friday is looking like being a very long day.
At 5pm, Dr. Lee’s young assistant arrived, and whipped out the stitches. I thought he was just cutting them, and was going to go back and drag them out. But he said “All done”, and the stitches were there in a pile. No pain at all! I did not count them, I shall wait until later for that.
He said that I will need to keep the dressing on them for 3 days, and if the drain hole dressing gets too wet, then that should be changed. I am not sure if it has made any difference to my movement, but I zimmered to the toilet in celebration anyway.
The flight nurse came in again today. It seems like she will be the one to accompany me all the way to Mum and Dad’s in Warwick. She was just checking on how mobile I was, and basically giving me a final check to say that she thought I was ok to fly.
We also discussed arrangements for tomorrow. The final decision is as follows:-

Well, after a fairly good nights sleep, I was awake at 6:30am. After doing some exercises, I got up at 7 and zimmered to the bathroom. Still nice to not p**s in a bottle. I had a shave, (last one here), and then went to the chair. I caught them out today, as they brought breakfast at 7:40am, so I managed to have breakfast out of bed. After eating my toast and jam, I read some more of “Sigh for a Merlin”. Dad will like some of the chapter names. One of which is – “A Tomtit in the garden”.
