Home Day Zero

Arrived early afternoon feeling quite proud of myself, but Teresa was not happy, she felt very poorly equipped to deal with a patient that really should be still in hospital.

I was feeling fit and pain free, really started to wonder why it would take 4-6 weeks to recover.

Then followed a stream of visitors:

• Melanie from work, good to see her and thanks guys for the magazines
• Nurse Maud acute outworker to check my vitals and make sure we understood what was going on
• Brother Murray from Ashburton

Plus a series of phone calls.  By 8:30 when Murray left I was buggered, then followed was a very poor night's sleep - the first of many.
