Message Fifty Six

I left Liz before visiting time ended this evening having also asked six good friends not to visit even though they had made it to the ward door.  Liz was feeling a bit tired and unwell.  Her digestive system has been very uncomfortable, and she has not slept well.

I discussed things with the nurses.  They feel we should suggest that Liz has only three visitors at a time on the ward, as too many visitors can be tiring, and the staff are also concerned for the privacy of the other patients. The message is, if we do have a larger group occasionally, we should leave the bay, and go to a different location e.g. day room, canteen etc.

Having said that, Liz loved seeing her visitors today.  Ali and Neda came with Diana their young daughter.  They gave her a big box of chocolates, and later on, Liz, her aunt, cousin, Joanna and Margaret all went for a walk round the hospital handing out chocolates to her hospital friends, such as the OT's, Physios and BIU Nurses.

Elizabeth also had another use of the 'Pulpit Walking Frame'. Liz corrected Message Fifty Five saying she did not feel pain when she was trying to walk.  It was hard, but 'singing with the physios' was just because they know she likes singing.  She also enjoyed wearing N's elf hat, complete with large ears.  We trust Liz will sleep well tonight.
