Gorgeous morning ......
19th
January 2017 (Thursday)
... 10.30 Yessss ....we have “Sunny
Sussex” again this morning.... and it isn’t as cold as it was yesterday; I’d say that I feel Spring in the air. Having said that we did have some red in the
sunrise, which is
by, all accounts, is not a good omen; but right now let’s ‘enjoy’ today!

I
have been up to the ‘local’ shop for a paper etc,... and I plan to go down town
later. The ‘bug’ I have is beginning
to ‘break up’, .and I’m beginning to feel as if I might be on the mend. It’s a strange ‘bug’;
one day I feel ‘good’ .... next day I’m back to feeling grotty....
however, ‘today’ I’m feeling more positive than I have done for a couple of weeks.
22.30 This has been one momentous day; and I’m not referring to the weather....
which has been ‘momentous’ in its way, being a perfect ‘Spring’ day.... no,
what has made if a momentous and perfect day for us is .... Janice is
home! I’d been bumbling along as per
my ‘plan’; up to the wee Tesco’s then
downtown to the big Tesco’s, into the Civic Centre for lunch then back up to
“No 1” , let ‘sooper dawg’ out, have a cuppa,... then the door bell rang! I fumbled around with the key, and, eventually,
managed to opened the door to find Alex ‘stood staunin’ there, with the bags
that
Janice had taken with her when she left on Monday. Suddenly Janice peeped round from where she
had been ‘hiding’.... for a second I thought I was hallucinatin’ after the long
walk up Uckfield High Street; but I
wasn’t, hallucinatin’ i.e. .... it was the ‘real’ Janice and yep; she was really home! Bonnie, like me, could hardly believe
it! However after I got the kettle on
and made a cuppa I got the gist of why Alex had brought Janice home. Alex had been at the hospital for an
appointment and had gone up to see how Janice was.... and found her in the
process of being ‘discharged’. He
texted Michael (who was at work) to tell him what was happening .... and, the logical
move was for Alex to bring Janice home, while Michael tied up the loose ends at
work. Michael arrived home three quarters of an hour after
Janice.

With
NHS England being short of bed spaces Janice had been placed in the Orthopaedic
Ward. The ‘regular’ Orthopaedic
patients, who were ‘in’ for new knees or hips etc, couldn’t quite understand
how Janice was able to amble across the Ward ‘nae bother’ while they were
struggling to get out
of their beds!
They probably thought that she had ‘gone private’.

Tomorrow
(I’m still i/c “Bonnie”) I shall stick to my original ‘plan’; by baking scones for Janice coming
home!
So
ends a surprising and exciting day; I
for one shall sleep tight tonight!
