Dougie had his PEG inserted this afternoon and the whole thing went smoothly. I think he was a bit disappointed to discover that he still had the NG tube up his nose, but this is normal practice until they are sure the op outcomes are satisfactory.
So ........ tomorrow no NG perhaps? :-)
As a bit of a distraction, this morning he was popped into the all singing-all dancing chair and all the ventilator bits were bolted on and he was taken for a quick outside visit!!!!!!!!
Not sure he was all that impressed but the sunshine and fresh air must have been great although probably a bit scary!
We arrived just after he had been brought back to the ward to be greeted by the Receptionist who said "hang on I'll just check whether Dougie is back from his walk".
Talk about dumbstruck!!
To-night he was a bit weary so we just sat, one doing hand holding duty and the other administering foot massage ... a sure way to get him to sleep.
We'll see what tomorrow brings ............

so pleased to hear you are doing so well Dougie....need to pop in soon and drop some pictures in. Probably just missed you outside yesterday as I was in the Minor Injuries Clinic after my knee was bashed with a hockey stick! Thought about hobbling over to see you but I was ordered home by the nurse instead...nevermind...I'll be back...soon! Keep up the good progress. Lots of Love, Ros.
All sounding good Dougie! Out walking and taking in the fresh air!! Keep up this rapid recovery and get yourself to brighton for a visit!!! xxx
