It has been a tough 2nd day in hospital today with nausea and acid reflux kicking in. Medically, all blood levels and pressures are ok with the only main issue being one of the two drains leaking heavily. Solution being to have one of them removed which was a bit uncomfortable. The main news headlines are that I stood up for the first time (but consequently have been exhausted since) and been told I can have green tea. Today more than ever I’ve realised its going to be a long road to full recovery as only allowed any food on Friday, and then only consommé. It will be like weaning a baby.
The nurses have been fantastic and come from all over the world (including Hurst!). However being woken up in the night by glaring lights and bleeping machines is never nice – especially when sleep is so precious now. I did however get a better night than the first.
I’ve greatly appreciated your messages and letters in this hard time but also the support of my immediate family who have come to see me over the last two days – good news is neither Mark, Isabelle or Tessa have fainted but Rowena has recommended a lot of anti-sickness drugs and remembering her favourites!

Keep going! spoke to Alison today and we hope to come and see you once you feel your up to it. Take everything they throw at you re anti sickness and pain relief I’m sure Rowena is a mind of information on the best! Thinking of you often and talking to her upstairs. Lots of love Lxx

Dearest F – well done you! Great they’re looking after you so well. The beeps are a bugger but hopefully not for too long. Wonder if you’d like the Archers podcast….. someone can bring it in for you? Much love etc etc fxxx. Btw It’s surprising how good consommé can taste when you’re starving!
