Sit Up And Pay Attention
Been up tonight to see Jules myself, feeling much better. Still got an annoying cough, but, hey, what have I to complain about!
Jules is sitting up straight in bed now, and is in full flow. The pen and pad have been binned, and she's talking away, fairly understandably, telling me about the week and what's been happening. She's even had her hair washed, which has made a massive difference to her appearance.
Confusing bit is that she's convinced she's pregnant, or at least has managed to convince the nursing staff. Tests and quite serious chats abound so we'll have to wait and see what the results are. But I'm pretty sure it's more to do with her getting an answer as to whether she can have kids as a result of all the surgery and treatment, rather than actually having a kiddy now.
Otherwise she's feeding herself, drinking Coke like it's going out of fashion, and calling me such endearing things as, "Shit head", and "Deaf Shit" to name but a few 
Hopefully in the next couple of days she'll be moved out of High Dependency and into the side wards. Still no idea on when she'll be out, but the physio is progressing well. She's been sat out in a chair, and today was trying to stand up and move about under her own steam. There's still no big movement in the left arm and leg, but the nurses are saying that they've seen more movement as each day passes

Hi, Al.
We've been keeping up with the progress reports while on hols, so it's good to hear how well Jules is progressing. Give her our love when you next see her. Looks like you may be on for Turkey next August at this rate! See you next week.
Geoff
