This was Julie's and then my view for the entire day, today. Julie was transferred into a different room in the Linnet Acute Medical ward overnight and the bed opposite entertained us for 10 hours. Hospitals are not restful places and so we watched this bed and everything around it that happened. Initially a middle aged chap from Tetbury was in the bed, but once he was discharged a chap who'd come in from Honda in Swindon. Time passes slowly in a hospital but uniquely the view constantly changed as nurses and doctors buzzed about the 4 patients. I have a lot of time for medical staff and Dana the ward nurse was brilliant, never tired even at 7pm, 12 hours since she'd begun her shift. But being bedridden literally gave Julie and I time to read a lot, as per the eclectic taste in reading matter below. At 7pm Julie was discharged and we came home via the Chinese fish and chip shop in Marlborough.....bloomin' lovely.
