One week back in New Zealand and we are back in the system….rather than wait for an appointment for 6 weeks, Russ decided a visit to the Hospital (cloud pillow in tow) to get the ball rolling was in order!
So here we are and so begins another story…..by the way Russ is doing ok just needs access to some oxygen management, so will be a guest here for a few days while they get this sorted!
The Story….we will call him Lorrie (not his name) named as such, as we are in the assessment ward and Lorrie is a very busy man, roaring around with his walker and refusing to sit at any point! Indeterminable age, somewhere between 75 and 90 at a guess. He has a lovely keeper who is very kindly allowing him to crouch on the floor, put his walking frame on the bed and very politely do exactly the opposite of anything the nurses ask. He is a peaceful old chap and just quietly says “No” to everything suggested. Obviously a very active man, who does not have an afternoon nap! And no amount of coaxing will convince him this may be a good idea!
Some of the most wonderful people visit these places….And we are joining the ranks!
All who wander are not Lost girls
