Out of High Dependency Unit

Yesterday evening, in the High Dependency Unit, Paul asked dad to see a movie on his mini-DVD player.

The night went fine although pain is not settled.

As he is otherwise well, he was taken back to his bedroom midday today.

He was mostly asleep all day.

Late in the afternoon, the physiotherapist made him do a few soft exercices so his bad leg doesn't become stiff.

His pain increased later and as Anne-Marie arrived for the night shift, the doses of analgesics were increased by the anaesthetist.

Follow-up has been consistently excellent and we cannot thank enough all the medical personnel who have taken care of Paul (including Anne-Marie).

Paul is starting to nibble.

  1. Morning Paul,

    As usual starting my day with a check on your website.

    You come first then all the endless tasks at the Embassy.

    Seeing your sweet face gives me a good kick off for the day.

    I am curious to know what movie you watched on your mini-DVD. Something you chose, must have been special.

    I can not wait for Sunday to come to see you.

    Nice day!

  2. OH, I am so glad the tumor is out. And, that Paul feels comfortable enough to watch TV.
    He has much family who are so very supportive and helpful. That is such a blessing.
