I Thought We'd Missed The Snow. Wrong.

They kept Ailz on the HDU most of yesterday. That wasn't so much because of her condition, but because the staff were run off their feet. The guy in the next bed was confused and restless and they had to have someone at his side every minute of the day to stop him climbing out and hurting himself.

I want to put it on record that the staff on the HDU at the Royal Oldham Hospital are fabulous.

When I visited in the evening, they'd finally moved Ailz downstairs onto a general ward- and into a more relaxed atmosphere.

She's tired and beat up, but she feels like she's been given a new start. She's keen to get out and discover what the rest of her life is going to be about.

This morning it's snowing.

Wow, what a week it must have been for the pair of you! It's lovely to know that Ailz feels so positive after such a serious ordeal -- I imagine that some people have a completely opposite reaction. Continue to take care, & keep us informed. Again, it's appreciated =)

& it was proper swirling snow, too! With the added bonus that only an hour later, there's none of the cold/slipping/hazardous driving consequences.

The snow has settled here. My sister in law's car slid across the road when we were on our way to the hospital yesterday- luckily we were travelling very slowly at the time.

I've just seen the photo you have taken, too!
You're only 30 miles(ish) away from me here in Warrington. I guess this time we experienced similar weather to Liverpool.

Travel safely.

We're up in the hills, so we tend to get colder, more extreme weather than you people of the plains. :)
