 Here I still am in the Western Infirmary. Release has pretty well been promised for tomorrow. Food will be welcome. My appetite has improved but hospital food hasn’t. The trouble I remember from Cramond is undressed salads, but I have packed a little bottle of salad dressing.

Another thing that has been packed is my knitting. It is time to get started again. I think there’s still time.

The woman in the next bed asked to be taken out for a cigarette, and the first nurse she asked was going to do it. From Respiratory! But wiser councils prevailed. People are extraordinary.

Cats continue as before. Perdita is relaxed and cheerful. Archie was here yesterday and says he is not going to let her go back to Drummond Place where she is bullied and miserable. Poor Paradox would seem to be as sad as ever. I wonder if they are talking to her enough. She’s eating, though.

Wordle: we came closer than ever to a one-score day. We all had fours except Ketki, with five. The trick was four greens and you had to guess the final letter.

  1. Good to hear that you are ready for release. Knitting will restore a sense of normality. And regular physio should help get your appetite back.

    Good news that you are ready to leave the hospital. It is very tiring to be in the noisy hospital with myriad tests.
    Cramond should feel like a recovery spa!
    Especially if you are ready to knit again.
    thinking of you
    best regards Lisa RR

    Things are looking up. Cramond should be able to help with regular physio. I'm glad Paradox is eating. It isn't easy to talk to a cat that is hiding from you, but persistence is the key as in ost things.

    I hope things will improve for you at Cramond, especially if you knit and you have salad dressing. I also hope Paradox gets better soon; sometimes cats do adapt.
