Monday Moving Day!!

Yes, finally the day has arrived. Neil was transferred from Royal London by private ambulance to Gatwick Park Hospital. Thanks goodness. Much as we thought the care and treatment he received at Royal London was fantastic, the journey there and back each day was not. To be 20 minutes from home is a relief to us all. The ambulance journey was smooth and we arrived at Gatwick Park around 4.30 pm. They gave us a warm welcome and Neil was wheeled to a private room overlooking a garden and a pond, his own ensuite bathroom and TV - luxury! Mr Campbell is due to see him tomorrow and physio will start then. They have the use of a hydrotherapy pool nearby, which will be of great help to Neil's recovery. The nurse took Neil's dinner order and at 6.00 pm his mackrel pate appertiser followed by a medium cooked steak and chips with all the trimmings and cheese and biscuits for afters arrived. (I think his sickness has disappeared today). I helped him with the mackrel pate, which was delicious. Tina and Brian dropped in for a while and then Neil's Mum and Dad appeared soon afterwards. Nikkie called in to collect me and I left about 8.30 pm.
