Oh that is a right pain! As you say, not the nurses fault. They were really great with me when I was there.

I hope all goes well with the op!

Hi Keith :wave: oh you have had a wait haven't you. As I'm writing this you should be by your bed? hopefully.

I wish you well and I will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending you lots of good wishes for a successful operation and a speedy recovery.

people who think nothing is wrong with you because they do not see blood or a plaster cast, i suffer with arthritis & use a zimmer & wheelchair but because they cant see anything wrong people assume nothing is wrong with you.
hello keith. hope all went well with your op @ you did not wait much longer for that bed.
god bless & good luck to you
