Today is the start of a definite plan to get home. I need to be able to stay off the morphine for 24 hrs before they will let me home. So the first day I skip that voluntarily I know I have a high chance of being allowed out the next day. At the moment it feels like a goal that's so far away but one step at a time
I manage with the physio to walk the distance around my bed and get in from the other side. It takes 2 stops to achieve this which seems a lot but the plan is tomorrow it would take none. The improvement from day to day now should be much more noticeable if I can control the pain!
This evening we have a new patient on the ward. A young girl has come in for a hip operation. Her family are treating her like a real princess, I am not sure if I am jealous or something else but it is making queasy how much attention her mum is lavishing on her.
