A MOVE SOUTH TO MELROSE
Friday, 6th July. I had a round of golf this morning, the first time I had been up to the course in 10 days but I think it helped me to try and get back to some normality. I enjoyed the company of the usual guys in the group and hope to continue my usual Tuesday / Friday games.
Janet was transferred down to Borders General Hospital this morning, leaving about 10am and arriving at lunchtime. She had fish and chips for lunch and said that the food was much better down here than at the Victoria Hospital. She was placed in a 6 bed medical ward initially, but was moved to the Stroke Unit on the ground floor when I was visiting her this evening. She has her own room, with en suite and television. I did the unpacking of her case and toiletries and the staff in the unit all seemed very friendly. The nurse in charge did tell Janet that "intense physiotherapy" would start from Monday and although maybe Janet wasn't overly enthusiastic I think this will be exactly what she needs.
Near the end of my visit Janet was starting to become a bit melancholic, saying that she wished she could turn the clock back and that she felt she was going to end up coming home in the same state that she is now.
I don't think so and once she starts the physio, she will start to feel better about things and about herself.
I came home and watched the end of the Brazil v Belgium World Cup Quarter Final, put another load in the washing machine and had a couple of glasses of red wine. Another day over and another day nearer to getting Janet home.
