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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
