Dear Shaun, I’m definitely not the most hospital friendly patient in the world (read as “big-ol-scaredycat”) so I completely sympathise, especially as your family is away and things are a little tricky with Terry. Fingers crossed, he’ll be there for you, otherwise a good indicator of how things stand. But rest assured that we are thinking of you and that you *will* be OK. Good luck and I look forward to your next post.

Johnnie
