Message from Julia from Sunday

Neil was pleased to see Sally when she arrived at 2:05pm today byt immediately complained that she was 5 mins late! He had been bored all morning and had watched the clock continuously from 6:30am, when the lights were switched on, until 2pm when visitors can arrive.
No physio today as its Sundaybut he's been moving his arms and legs a lot in bed and performing various exercises to try to strengthen his muscles.
Yesterday he told Sally he really fancied a nice salad to eat so she popped to Sainsburys before she went to see him, to but him one. When she arrived , 5 minutes late, and produced it he quickly announced he really fancied a 'Big Mac' today. Simon, who had driven Sally to the hospital, quickly obliged and rushed to the Macdonalds over the Road. Neil really enjoyed a 'Big Mac', fries and large coke! He then ate Macoroni Cheese and carrots when they brought tea round later so he seems detemined to put his weight back on ;-)
He has had a check on his heart and needs the results of that before he can be transferred so hopes to know tomorrow.

Ju (Sal's sister)

I hope Mum didn't see you eating that Big Mac - you'll be straight back on the greens & salad ! Can't wait for you to move hospitals - it will take me the grand total of 9 mins to get to you as opposed to 25 stops on the underground !! I could always sneak you out and take you out for a curry ! (you were having trouble with your bowels - but enough said about that !).

See you soon
