We eventually got to A&E, there were no trolleys, so Lynette, the Matron and ambulance crew waited until I could be put on a bed and handed over for I guess another hour. Eventually Lynette rang Mr Lamah who was waiting and he came down with his junior doctor (not confidence inspiring as this was the first day of her rotation). They found us a side room. Dr. Lamah then opened me up in front of my eyes to try to see where all the evil stuff was coming from! He was not sure, so at this point he wanted a CT scan. In the mean time a nurse had made me drink some contrast dye which then leaks out of me. They stop. Off to CT scan back to A&E and two hours later after splitting wounds and leaking bandages and scaring a medical student with the severity! Mr Lamah comes back at 6. They have found a small tear in the stomach wall. So no op after all and to be admitted to the GI ward for 2 weeks to give my insides a break. I was told it could be 2 hours, or 4 hours or the next day. Needless to say I am still on A&E and will fingers crossed be transferred tomorrow to the ward.
I would love to see friends for short visits, please text, WhatsApp or message when you want to come. I am sure Mark and Rowena would love the odd home cooked meal and the dogs need a walk if any one wants. Goodnight from the County.

Poor you! It’s like reading an episode out of Casualty, hope they have now found you a bed. Andrew and I would love to visit at the w/e if your up to visitors by them. I will text you to arrange a good time. Andrew is going to contact Mark and try and arrange a dog walk and will cook a beef casserole for him to take with him. Fingers crossed that things begin to settle down and you manage to get much needed rest on the ward. Thinking of you Lxxx

Life seems to change rapidly, but short visits are good. That all sounds lovely. Check with Mark and footy plans I have no idea what is on cards. Currently I am on AAU acute admission unit wait for a permanent bed. Moved at 4.30

Argh …. sounds like you helped to build character among new doctors. Glad its not a huge op, but it still sounds pretty dire – sympathy and good vibes from me. I’ve just been thinking of you as I’m sorting through some Sri Lankan stones to find one that somebody else wants to buy. It was almost a year ago now and I think you’ve used a lot more of your stones than I have – this year is stone using time! Or selling them … but that is hard.
Have a good night – I hope you get a comfy spot with some peace and quiet so you can continue to squirrel sleep.
Love
Karen M
