Peter’s Hospital Diary

Well after last week’s hectic round of visitors – and it was lovely to see you all – and Elspeth, thank you for the gifts – this week is rather quieter! The garage tidying remains a ‘work in progress’ – I can spend about an hour out there before I get tired, although the weather […]

And I have just been looking back at the archives, this time last year I had also been to Guy’s – two weeks after I had been discharged – and I note that I had referred to bacon sandwiches again. However, we are a year on, and so it was the well worn path again. […]

And no obvious comments please about all being perfect tossers! However I have just enjoyed my pancakes! I’m afraid no photos this time, although Olivia has been over a couple of times, but in fractious mode. (Poor thing!) However she is putting on weight rapidly and now weighs 10lbs! Most of my weekend was spent […]

…but enjoyable ones! I think I mentioned in Saturday’s post that my parents were planning to visit, and they arrived on Sunday morning for 3 days, and left today. As always, it was lovely to see you, and thank you for coming down! And here is a picture of “The Three Stooges”! – my other […]

And what a difference! It is 3 weeks yesterday since I was discharged from Southampton, and I was having a look at some of the photographs taken just after I came out. I think the one on the left sums up how I looked! However, the one below on the right, taken this morning, just […]

First things first, it has been a while since I last posted a picture of Olivia, so here is another one! It does seem that in most of them she is asleep – but I can say that she is now a pound heavier than when she was born! (I am about 8 lbs heavier […]

But what a difference from last time – no long faces, and new determination in the air! Perhaps that is my perception as my strength returns, but it has been a good day! We arrived late morning, at the day unit, only to learn that we needed to go to the clinic first, for bloods […]
