JHB in hospital

Just had a call from John in ward 6 at Glan Clwyd, he's in there with diverticulitis which I know from personal experience to be extremely painful and in my case I ended up losing about a metre of my bowel John's asked that if at the field over the weekend we fly high so that he can watch

I`ll try my best to get it high for him, pass on my regards

Get well soon JHB

M

yes john get well soon

Please pass my regards to John. If I was back home I would be more than happy to fly my heli really high just for him so he can watch out of the ward windows. I know deep inside he loves heli's
;-)

Morning Brian, Thanks for letting us know.
Please pass on my regards.
How long were you out of commission when you had it?

Hi Marty, it led me a long song and dance before it was correctly diagnosed, then I was hospitalised twice with peritonitis nearly curled my toes up both times and finally got the bowel section

Sounds painfull... I REALLY hope I dont have anything like this for me to look forward to, or any health complications for that matter!
I hope he gets better soon!

Visited John this evening, he is in good spirits. . If anyone wishes to visit he is in ward 6.

Visited John this afternoon, He was in bed, desperate to see some RDMFC flying action from his window. The red shed (field next door) is visible.
He finished with a drip today. still had pains and also was feeling cold.
He is waiting for further investigation and tests, possibly CT and ultrasound scans.
He's got access to papers and has borrowed a library book "The fraud of William Shakespeare" from the book shelves next door.
Apparently, his Doc sent him direct to the Hospital after examining him.

Visiting 3-4 PM and 7-8 PM evenings
Car park £1-10p

Thanks for the update Paul

WHAT ... they charge to park to vist SICK loved ones and friends????? WTF! Now THAT is dicgarcefull!

Yes Marty, many Hospitals the same. Run by "accountants" not doctors.
I could leave the car at Sainsbury's, then use the 51 bus to Glan Clwd with my free bus pass.
Hospital parking is contracted out. The contract expires soon and until then the fee is reduced to £1-10p per visit.
There are though,free parking passes for some patients and visitors who make regular visits. Cancer, Dialysis, Medidoc etc.

I didn't realise! being a "Biker" I tend to park anywhere and growl at meter maids and threaten to eat their children but really ..... to have to pay to visit people who need support is outrageous!

Average charge in London area hospitals is at least £5 per visit. We have it easy compared to many English hospitals.

Ahhh!!!
Thats ALOT of money just to park up!

Visited John yesterday and as Paul has said he's in good spirits, but some not inconsiderable pain, he'd undergone a CT scan on his liver and kidneys which were all clear. He was expecting to undergo more tests today.

planning a visit tomorrrow PM

Popped in to see JHB tonight - he is his normal chirpy self and "looks" well enough. The hospital are still unsure as to exactly what is the problem, and tests continue.
he has been moved to ward 5 (in a separate room).

Visited John today, he's still in Ward 5. Now had CT Scan, results maybe tomorrow.

Thanks Paul

thanks for the update Paul

John now discharged, back home.
