Woke up early this morning. I still haven’t found the most comfortable sleeping position yet. However, I did roll onto my left side, and it was not too painful. Not real pain, but just pulling and stretching at the muscles. If I continue to do that, it should ease off more and more. I read for a while, and have nearly finished “Sigh for a Merlin”, and then I wrote a word document with yesterdays blog, while it was still fairly fresh in my mind. I managed to nip into the bathroom when Mum got a phone call, and get myself washed up for the day.

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.
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”.

Not a good sleep again. Hopefully, I will find a better position tonight.
Breakfast was at 7:30am this morning, and it caught me out! I was going to have breakfast in my chair, but I had not even started to get up. I had breakfast, and then zimmered to the loo. I then opened the curtains, put the fan on and sat in the chair for a while and read some more. After about 30 minutes, I got back into bed and read my emails. Jamo is back on form, as I had 7 funny emails from him.

Bob arrived at 10am for a visit. Whilst he was here, the surgeon assistant arrived to change my dressings. Bob and I chatted with him, and he said that I need to come back here 4 weeks after the surgery for an X-Ray. This is to see how the bone is healing.
I told him that I was going to be in England when then was, and he looked thoughtfully at me and said, “I think they can take X-Rays in England.” I was very relieved to hear that! He also confirmed about taking the stitches out on Wednesay.
Bob was saying that he was going to the Shangri La hotel for Sunday brunch this coming weekend, as it had been so good on a previous occasion. Prawns as big as your hand, was one of the comments he made.
I zimmered about after lunch, and sat in the chair reading “Sigh for a Merlin” by Alex Henshaw, about his role during the war of being a Spitfire test pilot. I have only just started it, but so far, so good.
I have skyped Hugh, Gina, Mum and Dad today, so everyone is fully up to date with all that is happening. Tonight, I shall just relax and read some more, and maybe watch some tv online.
Was woken early this morning by my leg being a bit sore. I cannot seem to find a position that is comfortable for the whole night.
Ma Yan left for work at 6:45, she has stayed here over the weekend. Making sure I do my exercises, and generally helping me out.

I was up and zimmered myself to the bathroom (most satisfying) at about 7:45 this morning. I then sat in my chair and had breakfast for the first time out of bed.
At 8:20, my knee was giving me a bit of an ache, so I got back into bed. Soon after, I was asaked to choose my lunch, so I went with Tuna Salad. Not too big, but very good.
Vivian the GP came round at 8:45, and said she was going to confirm with the surgeon about whether I still needed to be taking the oral anti-biotics.
Then it was back to “Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure” that Zac has lent me.
