Ian

1) Ian has been moved to Heathfield 1 ground floor. Private, ensuite; what more could he ask for? Well for one, a better view - mostly a brick wall and leylandii conifer.

2) He has a full-time nurse. Her lunch break is roughly two till three and you may be asked to deputize.

3) He has flu. You may be asked to wear a face mask and "apron" (don't ask me how you put it on).

I visited Ian this afternoon. His grand-son Adam was there who told me that Ian had Cerebrovascular Disease. Google tells me that there are four different sorts. One of them is stroke. He's in a Stroke ward. Adam also told me that Ian had been falling a lot and one of the falls resulted in a brain bleed. Ian himself seemed pretty vague. No idea what the diagnosis is or what the prognosis is. Nor how long in hospital or how much support he'll need.
I took him some beer, he said he didn't drink much beer! Something's changed.
All in all it was rather a sad occasion.
Best wishes to all
Bernard
