Still waiting for feedback to complaints regarding the nurse who tried to stop me getting treatment at home over weekends despite knowing any alternatives would be too expensive for me.
My operation wound is starting to heal faster. The nurses I saw yesterday and today found it hard to put antiseptic wadding into the wound, and measuring its depth is now impossible - after five months it's healing is accelerating. Very reassuring.
Nice post-Easter phone call with my Mum.
Some pubs reopened today but not yet had a chance to enjoy their services.

I guess I missed your post about your operation. Hope everything heals up the way it should.

@BarBaraPrz Thanks, I had dangerous bowel cancer surgery in early December. I was hospitalized until mid-January and now wear a stoma bag as well as having a slow to heal operation entry wound that needs regular professional dressings changes but the wound is starting to show signs of healing at last

That is great news about the wound. You have a good reason to celebrate when you finally go to the pubs.
