He's rang mum, she's rang us and is cockahoop. Hes been a bane to his parents all his life, gone his own way and never really shown loyalty to family at all, we were never close but never hated each other either..ultimately he's my brother and his mum's son.An emotional day.......
And to end the day...my long lost older brother has just got tentatively In touch. We spent some time wondering if he was even still alive. He missed dads passing and it's left a lot of guilt so we're convincing him to contact mum...who has yearned for news from him, despite his being the black sheep of the family....but as I said in another post, blood is blood, good to know he's well.
What a day.

Last one I was at had room service, but your doctor determined which menu you could order from.
An emotional day.
Granddaughter (4) had an operation to reset a double break in her arm so that plays on your mind even though you know it's routine.
Anniversary of my dads passing tomorrow so down the crematorium to lay flowers, we had our other granddaughters with us, babysitting.
Visit my brothers memorial at the same crem, just to say hello while I was there. I was showing my older grandaughter his photo on the memorial, hes holding a glass of beer...'i was on the other end of the camera when that photo was taken in Turkey' I explained..and for some reason it unexpectedly cut me up.
And then, I realised we've exposed our precious granddaughters to confront what death means....our older gd was quite quiet at the crem...thoughtful perhaps Wished we hadn't taken them, they were fine after, just a bit deep for them perhaps at the time.

I see. Mostly just staff use cafeteria itself, and security force, while patients and visitors use room service. Few wards where I live, very small hospital bed areas, most all things are outpatient, usually single person in a room, at the R/C hospital I go to. I think my recent stay of 3 days was the only one I've had since the 1970's.Cafe meant for visitors, often with patients & staff using it.
