I was admitted to hospital this morning, and discharged this afternoon after a good snooze under anaesthetic. Don’t I look pretty in that dress?
Then I trotted down the road with young R to her hour of swimming practice.
I enjoyed the hospital visit so much I am going to repeat the experience on Wednesday for a bit longer.
M still comes up to supper with us every evening to enjoy some hospitality at the main house.
Cassie still comes down on most mornings to play, and enjoy some hospitality at the cottage.
Here is a monkey moocher seeking hospitality — or at least a handout. Not exactly nervous: you can see how close he is to the toe of my shoe.
General (not) Hospital:
I am still very much involved with the editing and revision of copies of some earlier books for reprinting. I also did a snatch of a new play for one of my overseas writers, and will edit the rest as soon as it is completed. Another book from overseas is also on the cards.

The identity bracelet gets you a welcome cocktail, usually a Daïquiri, at some resorts. But not in hospitals. A shame really.

My new set of bracelets today qualified me for fruit juice after I came round from the anaesthetic. Supper, too!

I doubt the adequacy of the word “supper”. What is on the menu? Oxtail soup?
(Wish you the shortest possible stay my friend)

Not bad,actually. Mild chicken curry and rice, and orange 🍊 slices.

Wow. Unbelievable. Shame Durban is a bit far… but maybe my local clinic can hire the cook out?
Be good.

Hospital gowns are a bit chilly. (Had one myself for a few days in July)
Don’t overdo it… And get rid of whatever you have soon.
Cheers.

I have moved out of the ventilated garment. I do hope to get rid of it fast but C tends to be persistent.

I love the thoughtfulness of giving one an identity bracelet should one emerge from the anasthetic with an acute attack of amnesia. Clearly though you haven’t — or have you? Anyway, hope you enjoyed your R&R and your brief modelling career.

One or two visits are OK, but I wouldn’t make it a habit . . . especially since they are open in the back.
