We had a lie-in this morning; taking the opportunity while we can. This last week has been solid late nights and early mornings and next week is going to be the same in the run up to the show next weekend. I was quite the zombie at work on Friday.
After work though, Brett and I met up and went to visit Rich C who is in hospital after a couple of operations. He had an emergency appendectomy ten days ago, but the wound became infected and he was back in for more emergency surgery on Tuesday. The second operation was apparently quite serious; his partner John told us that he had been within hours of death, which was a bit shocking. Anyway, he seems to be well on the road to recovery now. He was sitting up in an armchair and chatting with us fairly normally when we visited. John seemed very happy about that as, for the last couple of days, he’s been pretty out of it and full of IV tubes. He is still attached to a little vacuum machine though, maintaining a negative pressure in the wound, removing any remaining infection and increasing the blood flow to the healing area, but it was still a very positive visit compared to what I had expected.
Today we are relaxing, as much as we can in amongst the bills to pay and housework to do. I also need to MOT and tax the car, which should have been last month. (Whoops!) Then we both need to spend time on polishing our music ready for tomorrow’s all day Chorus rehearsal.
