Wake up after a night during which I have kept my cell-mate Sean awake for most of the time. Apparently I still have some fluid left in my lungs and this is making me cough, wheeze and splutter in an attempt to clear the rubbish – not exactly a recipe for sleep dreams for either yours truly or his fellow-sufferer.
Weight now down to 67.5 and counting.
In the morning we both celebrate a momentous event. It’s catheter removal time folks which Sean marks by a joyous cry of “Free Willy!” from behind the blinds separating our beds.
Next it’s my turn and it is surprisingly painless, albeit a little more’ drawn – out’ so to speak!
The usual visit from Gail but Craig stays away as he feels a bit under the weather and has no wish to infect his currently fragile old dad.
Watch tv for a while but as bed-time approaches start to feel a bit the worse for wear. The stay in CCU is a roller coaster ride, both physically and emotionally , especially the latter, and I am prepared for a fairly unpleasant night .
Cheers
The Obese Ferret
