(Previous instalment: https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10159069304821691&id=608866690 )
In theory I'm being transferred to Liverpool today but something happened last night and there is no bed available for me in Aintree.
I was kept on nil by mouth all night and morning, and when I asked for some help with personal hygiene before trying to dress and fly, was told no. Apparently it's to encourage my independence. I'm not quite so independent when I'm so battered and bleeding, with an unreduced fracture.
Anyway, with great difficulty, I gave myself a sort of bed bath, and put a T shirt on. Jana is struggling with a sickly and uncooperative Ada but came up and brought me some clothes, and took away a big blue IKEA bag of clothes and things I won't need. I have a small bag to take to Liverpool and back.
By lunchtime they decided I won't be operated upon today, so they let me drink some water, & then gave me lunch.
My girls have left now. I'm sitting here waiting to find out if and when I'm getting sent Across. No shower in 4 days, feeling stinky and foul, but intermittently vertical, and with some food and drink.
