I rode the bus across Bath and connected on to Melksham this afternoon.   A lovely bright afternoon, and seeing the beauty of the world and all its facets.  Four pictures - Bath City Centre, a gull, an island bus stop, and Shaw Church. The fifth picture is in the RUH (Royal United Hospital) - the empty bed I was discharged from today prior to than bus journey home.

I was called in, urgently, just before the weekend after abnormal test results.  "Day Surgery" ward but I ended up being admitted and only being discharged this afternoon - Monday.  Seeing so many other patients far worse off than I am is very humbling;  I have lost the best part of a stone, weaker on my feet and tubed up, but nothing malignant. Probably a "day surgery" op later in the year.  Discomfort but no pain; brain working ... a bit wobblier on my feet but still, already, well enough to use the bus home.

I know that starting three paragraphs with "I" is very self-centred, but just today and this one post IS me. I am refactoring April and knocking back plans to be away early in the month.  These Easter weeks will now be a welcomed window to recover - a "time off" prior to a resumption of my norm thereafter.  Big "thank you" to those stepping in for me at today's meeting and helping otherwise too. Knowing me, the time off will be a chance to have my thoughts wander, write, perhaps do some coding.  And being around, I'll now be able to watch "Race across the World" and "Married at First Site". Convalescence - which this recover is - does not mean I will re-instate meetings - I'll be quietly at home, with perhaps one or two gentle outings.













Nothing but praise for the hospital staff ... whole subject there ... I completed their review form, where they asked for suggestions of how they could have done better, all I could do was add a "Thank You"

 



Please don't - you'll set member broadgage off on yet another one!
