Peter in hospital

Peter and Helen in St Georges
I saw Peter today. He's coping well with being in hospital and at this stage doesn't know how long he will be in there. There is more than one fracture in his pelvis and hip area but he has been advised by doctors that they are not currently planning any surgery. He has also been advised that exercise will help but for now it is all he can do to get on his feet and, with the aid of a walking frame, take a few steps. This is a shame because there is a gym just a couple of doors along from the room he is in. He is finding the hospital food to be pretty decent.

He is in the Gunning Ward on the 5th floor of the St James Wing at St Georges, Tooting. Visiting hours are between 3 and 8pm.

Friends will be visiting him over the weekend but Helen has given him a small pile of books to read in quieter moments.

as my wife's consultant said a pelvis is like a polo mint - you can't have a single break.
