Can't be bothered with a new boob

Hi Robyn

Thanks for the tip re removal of the drain !

Yes, as per your advice, I walked the 'laps' whilst in hospital.  I began with a slow shaky 'potter 'to the lifts and back then on Wednesday I was up to five fast total laps (as far as the wards go) without stopping.  I got the heart rate up, that is for sure.

I saw one other patient up and about but he was doing a slow crawl.  As you say, unless the nurses encourage it most people sit around and enjoy being 'sick'.  I think the ages and training of the nursing staff these days means they are not as dedicated and common sense is not so common.

We have a glorious day here so that is aiding the recovery.

Do keep in touch and loet me know how you are travelling.
