Back home again. Very annnoying but my poor old legs are wearing out and the doctor thinks that if I have an infection the first place it attacks is often my weakest point which in my case is undoubtedly my legs. I suddenly seized up on my way to bed and could not take a step thus falling over in the hall. Action stations and within an hour I was snug in bed in our nearest hospital - The Friarage in Northallerton. Hospitals are such busy places but I have to stay I slept well, the food was delicious and I really had a good rest and saw some interesting 'goings on'.
Today I am fragile and not walking well but I am at least walking - with aid of course - and more or less back to square one with my improvement over those few warm Spring days. Looking out of the window it looks cold and damp but the lovely dwarf tulips are nodding their heads as though it is the most lovely Spring day. And the blackbird is singing his head off which makes me suspect Mrs Blackbird has eggs - at least they will be snug and warm.
Hopefully if all goes according to plan and I stay upright I will be back to form tomorrow. In the meantime I shall pop over and see what you have all been up to .
Ohno - what a shock for you to seize up like that. I am glad that just a night in hospital to be checked out was necessary, but I bet your son was worried all the same. Thank heavens for your personal alarm.
ReplyDeleteTake things easy and enjoy that Blackbird's song.
Oh, so sorry to hear that you had a medical issue that required the hospital. Glad you didn't break any bones when you fell. I am glad you are recovering and hope you will enjoy the Spring weather and your lovely birds. Take care, Pat!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back Pat.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Pat! So relieved to see your post just now.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law said pretty much the same as you when she had to go to hospital last year; the food was good, everybody was nice and she slept well.
Thank goodness you are home again and recovering with nothing broken and the hospital stay was short.
ReplyDeleteJust be careful and take care
As Sue says, thankfully your hospital stay was short and sounds reasonably comfortable too. Good to see you back here with us again.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you at least fed well and had some entertainment!
ReplyDeleteAs they say, be careful, as ever xx
Brilliant to see you back and commenting on our blogs. The hospital seems to have taken good care of you, so do be very, very careful. xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you home and the hospital stay was short. Prayers for you and your legs and continued recovery!🙏
ReplyDeleteWas concerned about your absence and even made the comment that I hoped nothing had happened to you! This tells me you, indeed, had an episode ... certainly nothing you could have foreseen since you were doing so well!
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't know it ... we worry about you when you are absent for no apparent reason! So, we are ALL happy to see you back here! Just pay attention to what the old body is telling you!
Best wishes for a full recovery !
ReplyDeleteGood food in hospital sure is something to appreciate.

Lovely to have you back here, Pat. Love your posts. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a relief that you are ok.I have been checking in regularly to see if there was any news.Phew!So good to see you back blogging.
ReplyDeleteLots of love Barbarax
I was so relieved to see your new post. I've been checking regularly...at least 4 times a day. I'm glad the hospital stay was not unpleasant. It's always nice when the food is tasty. I'm also enjoying watching the birds construct their nests. Yesterday, I found a broken bird's egg on the ground so I'm guessing I'll be seeing fledglings soon. This is an exciting season in the garden.
ReplyDeleteI know this creates unwanted pressure, nonetheless, I will tell you that I start each day with your post. I also understand you don't always feel like writing. But I never dreamed you had to be hospitalized! Please know I am so relieved to hear you're alright. Take very good care of yourself. Obviously, we need you.
ReplyDeleteTo be tucked up in a hospital bed within an hour sounds very efficient - obviously the emergency call system works well. Sorry you had to test it again though! Look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteVery relieved to see you're back home, safe and mostly sound!
ReplyDeleteHello Pat
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are ok.Continue your recovery and get well soon.
All the best.Jo
Relax and enjoy is all I can say with the emphasis on relax. I am glad you are safe and well again Weave.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your infection and required hospital stay. Your doc might consider ongoing low dose antibiotic to keep this at bay. I'd ask about this? Spring is truly underway with the birds singing and nesting along with the Spring flowers making a lovely display. Take care and enjoy the Springtime sights and sounds.
ReplyDeleteDespite your excellent care I am sure you are happy to be home, I am pleased you are too as I was wondering what had happened. Spring is such a positive time of year, enjoy and take care. x
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back safely. Take very good care.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are back and feeling better! I was worried when you didn't post for a while. Pat
ReplyDeletewhew.....
ReplyDeleteYou had a lot of people concerned again. Just shows how many friends you have that truly care about your health and wellness. I am glad you are back home and no broken bones. A good rest and a good meal are helpful with healing. Rest up and tackle the walking when you feel your strongest. Ranee (MN) USA
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back again, it's always a worry when I see you have missed a post. Take it easy, get some rest and continue with your recovery. Viv

ReplyDeleteGlad you’re home. You turn the scariest incidences around to positive experiences!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're doing better.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your recovery.
Friends one and all. Thank you sincerely for your good wishes. I am touched by your concern. I feel a little more human and a little more mobile today - I have cancelled everything but my Covid booster next week - everything else can wait.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are home - take care and get well soon. The Friarage Hospital was lovely when I had an op there in the 1980's. Sheila x
ReplyDeleteYou are a similar age to my own mum. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteFriarage hospital is still lovely MiniGranny.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad - I thought it was full of the nicest people ! X
