12.18am - Just Home....

Firstly, before I forget, again, Amanda asked anyone reading to become a follower, so we know that everyone is updated, and we don't have to worry that our friends are worrying and stressing because they have not heard from us.  I was meant to say that yesterday, and got told off for not doing so! 

I have just read all the heart warming comments, many, many thanks.  The love for my wife is tremendous, and I love that you all love her so much.  She is truly brilliant, brave and wonderful.
Her mindset this evening, once over the G.A. has been amazing.  She is in a lot of pain though.  She tried to take the leafy stalk from a strawberry and yelped,
she found all this incredibly frustrating.  Getting up to go to the loo was a non starter too.  So I was there to help a hand..... Only for wees mind you!  She has a drain in under her armpit, which she obviously hates too, and frets about it catching on something, or falling out etc. etc.  She gorged on the vegan platter I presented tonight, which was good to see, a healthy appetite will get her back to full strength in no time.  As each hour passed, she needed a little more stroking, firstly of the head, then the face, then finally I was sent down to the feet..... this was the finale, and this is also standard 'Healthy Amanda' behaviour too. 

This afternoon, when I'd finally found out she was safe, I went back to her room and waited, and waited,  and waited.  She was delivered back to me sometime after 6pm.... It had felt like a life time.

Unsuprisingly there are some very confused folks in hospitals, and the tend to be on the elderly side.  Whilst I awaited Amanda's return, an elderly lady wobbled her way unsteadily into the room, 'Is this the police station?' she enquired, 'No, I'm sorry, it's not.' I gently replied.  'I'm looking for Marcus.' she said.  That was pretty close, but still, no cigar.  'No Marcus here I'm afraid'.  She apologised and wobbled full circle out of the room.  I put down my truncheon, took off my police hat, and sat back down.  Poor old dear.

Amanda will love reading all your supportive messages, and she may even post tomorrow, who knows.  But she wanted you all to know, she is doing well, and will see you when she gets out.  'I don't want any visitors' was the last thing I heard.  Sorry folks.  You know what she's like!

The Doozers (anyone remember 'Fraggle Rock'?  Probably not)  from next door (lovely neighbours actually, that would do anything for you, at anytime of day or night it seems) delivered some beautiful flowers today, to make up for the midnight hour construction work from the previous night.  Very sweet of them.  Thankyou Doozers.

Going to bed.  Shattered.  Amanda is brilliant x

PS.  There may be mistakes, but I'm too tired to check..... Make the wurds phit, and be flexable with the spelllling and grammar on this one.  Cheers me' lovelies!
