Subject: Bill

Bill hasn't been to good recently and he is carrying a lot of water, but today his balance was also off, so I called the doctor out. He has increased his water tablets and because Bill is seeing the consultant on Monday, he is going to telephone him to tell him what has happened. The doctor did say that I should expect Bill to stay in hospital.

This evening when I was on my computer Bill fell out of his chair. He has one of these chairs that can stand him up and because his balance was not very good, he had a bottle to pee into. He took the chair too high and fell out, onto a brass fender.

I telephoned for an ambulance because I can't pick him up, and there was Bill lying on the floor with his trousers down when they arrived. He is too big for me to handle on my own.

Off he went to Casualty, and his elbow has swollen to twice it's size but nothing is broken. They did find that he has an infection somewhere which they are investigating, and he has fluid round his heart.

All he had to do was ask the doctor to go into hospital today, he didn't need to fall out of the chair to get there. vbg. I pull his leg saying that all he wants to do is look at the lovely young nurses and that he falls on purpose.

Hopefully he won't be in long, but at least I will have a rest.

Margaret, I am very sorry that Bill is not well. I am very very glad that he didn't break anything. Hopefully, the infection will get better soon and you rest up as well. Thinking of you all.

PS: We use to say this to Dad as well about the nurses. We'd go into visit him and they knew all about us, and Dad about them. It was fantastic how well they treated him.

Dear Margaret,

Sorry to hear about Bill falling and you having to call the ambulance. I know how helpless one feels when this happens but thank goodness someone is available when it is an emergency. You have a wonder sense of humor. I will be sure to say a prayer for Bill tonite. At least he will get checked out for the fluid problem. Try to get some rest yourself.

Take Care.

Phyllis

PS thanks for posting picture of Rufus
