Thank God I'm Home



 Dore Abbey


I feel so weak though - lack of sleep and then no food for two days followed by hospital "nutrition".  Well, if I'd had to survive on the "geriatric goldfish in breadcrumbs" which passes for fish which was lunch yesterday - chips ok though - I'd have soon reached my target weight!!

I just had a small bowl of chicken soup for tea and was in bed by 8 p.m. - Tam & Co had gone to Hereford - in case I needed driving home and one of them would have bought my car back.  I said I was ok and they went to see friends.  I couldn't sleep until they were home though.

I've had tea and toast and will go back to bed shortly as I am bushed.  My brain seems to have migrated somewhere too!  Thank you for all your kind comments and I will try and answer them later.

  4. Hospital stays are exhausting, plus you have been very poorly - rest as much as possible and regain your strength.

    1. The first night I was in, there was a late admission and it was nearly midnight before lights out.

    1. I'd let things slip with nutrition and knew it, but can now put it right. I have made a shopping list for tomorrow with what I should be eating.

    1. I am surprised how shattered I am and I was only in there 2 1/2 days. Felt like forever though. Good to be back where I belong.

  9. So glad you are home. Rest, rest and more rest. Also keep your fluids up, soup will be ideal as its easy to swallow. Raining here thankfully as I had bought a YS hebe and some pansies that were on a multi offer. Also managed to rescue the washing. Take care of yourself, hopefully you have lots of reading. Xx

    1. Danny made me soup yesterday, but it needs letting down - I prefer broths to stand the spoon up in soup. Your garden is going to be fab next year. About to hang my washing up - but inside as we have showers and grey skies.
