Good news Sunday

Yesterday - Saturday 22nd - seemed to pass in a blur.  I made several trips to and from the hospital and we were resigning ourselves to Alex being cooped up within the hospital building until at least Thursday.  They were reluctant to let him out of the front door, but he could go downstairs to visit the coffee shop there, and there was a lounge area on level 8 near the entrance to his ward.

Tracey and Mike were visiting this morning.  Tracey was bringing some of the lemon slice she'd made for the Glow in the Dark party we were due to have last night but had to cancel.  Alex phoned with exciting news - they were going to let him out on a day pass for a few hours!

So we went up to the ward to collect him.  Mike had brought with him the mask he was planning on wearing at the Glow in the Dark party, and we couldn't resist this photo of Alex

But we also thought wouldn't it be lovely if we left something for the nursing staff who were going to be on duty while Alex was out for a few hours.  So we made the bed, and thought this may give some of them a giggle.  Just as we had made the bed, one of the trolly ladies poked her head around the curtain to ask Alex if he'd like a tea or coffee with a biscuit, and she certainly got a fright!

We left the ward, and wondered if anything would have been said if anyone had seen Alex wearing the mask and following Mike out of the ward.  This is the signs on the entry doors, that are always secured.
