Day 30 – Friday 12 December
First of all, in case you thought I had lost a day, Pat’s Mum spotted that I had mis-numbered the earlier posts and had skipped from Day 25 to Day 27 so I have gone back and renumbered them correctly. Oops!
Quite a quiet day today, we had to bring Paul in a hot curry pie today to remind him of school (!) so he had that after he had curry for lunch! He had more physio this morning and managed to walk without the aid of his walking frame which is another major milestone. Whilst he can walk, it is very slow and deliberate and obviously takes quite a lot of effort, but hopefully this should improve with time. Nonetheless, it is quite distressing for us to watch.
He also had his hearing tested this morning as he had mentioned a problem with his right ear – those of you who saw him in the early days will recall that he had given his right ear a whack and it bled for a few days, so the problem he has now is simply that it is a bit gummed up so just needs hoovering out or a blast with the jet wash. I think they are taking the easy way out though and putting drops in it.
Arthur and Charles visited this afternoon and we went for a cup of tea at the WRVS but got kicked out because it was their Xmas party this evening, so we brought the tea back and sat in the day room. We got back to the ward about 16:15 and then Anna and Jamie arrived, and then it was time for supper, which was some pasta thingy followed by Blueberry muffin and custard – “...but you don’t like custard!” Mum said – “I do now” he replied!
After supper, Suzanne arrived and we looked at some of the pictures that she had compiled on her laptop for Paul – these were from school, Duke of Edinburgh, parties and the like so it was good to look back.
Unfortunately we discovered this evening that Paul has mislaid his mobile phone – he thinks he might have left it on the bed when he went for lunch and when he got back the bed had been changed, so whether it is currently running through the laundry or not we don’t know. If you have sent Paul a text and haven’t had a reply, that is why! I will have to ring o2 tomorrow and cancel it so I am not sure if he will get a new number or not, but I will let you know.

Spanner, a slang English synonym of idiot.
Idiot is a word derived from the Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("person lacking professional skill," "a private citizen," "individual"), from ἴδιος, idios ("private," "one's own").[1] In Latin the word idiota ("ordinary person, layman") preceded the Late Latin meaning "uneducated or ignorant person."
Yep, thats me!
