    Hello my lovelies. Bit introspective today, so just scroll to next person if you don't want to read my blatherings :)

    Sunday morning; been home since about 1pm Saturday, hoorah to escape the hospital!
    I DO love my bed!!

    Actually, I nearly didn't get a bed!
    Went in Monday morning with my bag, ready to have R in Windsor suite and then get admitted to ward upstairs as before. As the R was finished and they began to talk of getting paperwork done, the ward informed us that there was no bed now, and to try again tomorrow. Well, it HAD to…
