Hello everyone and thanks for your support for Marjorie, and me. I’m just in
from the hospital, I never thought doing nothing, well sitting on a chair for
hours, could be so exhausting. This is a brief update as to where we’re at as
I’ve not been on here a lot recently.Marjorie is being moved tomorrow to a specialist unit, a Neuro Rehab Unit, so
we are going to be a while before we can think about getting home. The neurologist
explained the unit only has a few beds as it’s a collection of specialists, Neurologists,
Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists all working as a team on individual patients.
I’ve to be in for 8am and bring Marjorie’s CPAP machine. They are going to draw blood from
her hand to check the level of Carbon Dioxide in her blood first thing.This is all new to me, we had initially hoped Marjorie would be home by now, but if it’s
to Marjorie’s benefit, we’ll tough it out for however long it takes.I hope everyone is keeping well, I hope Dave is improving Jac and Moe I’ve read back a bit
to catch up, You’re going through a lot yourself, I hope they get that knee seen to.I’ll keep in touch as best I can.
First class knowledge Darren, that’s some treble. I’m sorry I haven’t appeared again
this week, My missus has not been well for a while and another fall has had her in
hospital for the past week. I need to take my mind of things so I’ll try to give this
week’s tournaments a look over. Well done again mate 👍Trust me to make a whopping mistake and to pick from the Silver Cup. I had the winner there at 18/1,
not that it’s going to do me much good here. In my pick 3, I picked Flash Harry as my nap, he was 3rd
at 28/1. Again, not that it does me any good with this week’s race. Apologies Neil for F***ing this
weeks picks up.I’ll be more careful in future although in my defence my wife is in hospital and I
spend my whole day there. In the scale of things, some things are just not that important.Many thanks Andre, that’s me back home, no change with Marjorie, Doctors and
Consultants, do they think nobody gets sick over the weekend, maybe there are
some posting here, who are one or the other. I can’t get the information I
want from the nurses who work over the weekend, no slur at them, they have been
fantastic with their help(in the new ward on the 3rd day) Jesus, I’ve never had
so many cups of tea and yesterday I was given a pork chop (very tender) and veg
then custard and crumble. As Marjorie has the only single room at the end of the
corridor I think she’s probably the last to be served, and as the nurse said, it’s
only going to get thrown in the bin if you don’t want it thought that was a one off,
but today I was given bangers (in gravy)and mash, which again was excellent. I forgot
to mention soup both yesterday and today at lunchtime. They take excellent care of
Marjorie.I think tomorrow is the big day when the consultant, and to give her her due, was very
caring and very concerned about Marjorie. Earlier that first day I had to ask a nurse for
help lifting Marjorie out of bed to go to the loo. She seemed less than happy and I seemed
to be doing most of the work, she just disappeared once Marjorie was in the toilet. You try
not to have a screaming match on your first day, but I was blazing inside. That evening when
the consultant was in, she spent a great deal of time with me and Marjorie, trying to see how
Marjorie was before the fall, and what the changes were. The same nurse who was as good as
a chocolate teapot earlier was with the Consultant, who said “on no circumstances has Mrs
Clark to be allowed out of bed without a nurse with her 100% of the time”. I said nothing
but stared at the nurse (like Paddington’s bear stare) She was very uncomfortable and red
faced. She said to the Consultant that she would personally see Mrs Clark had assistance
whenever she needs out of bed. It felt good seeing her squirm. Marjorie has now changed
ward, and the difference is huge. Anyway, I’ve got the kettle on so I better get a cuppa.
There’s another story I could tell, but I’ve prattled on enough tonight, but it is
hysterically funny. Some times you have to laugh 😂Well done by the way with a nice double Andre, including a 12/1 nap. Excellent stuff Sir👍

Great to hear young Alex is off to Uni, you wonder where the years went.
I’ll try to keep in touch but Marjorie is in hospital and I’m spending most
of my days there. Unfortunately she had another fall. She banged her head
but she’s not doing too well. We don’t have a diagnosis yet, so we’ll just
have to hope for the best. As I said, I’ll try and keep in touch and let you
know how it’s going.Jusr sticking with my Pick 3 Horses today, and my reserve
