My Surgeon was pleased with my progress today. It has been seven weeks since my surgery; he says I can go back to work and drive again. I took great pleasure in driving over to the Radio studios (to pick up a USB keyboard, I’d forgotten Dells don’t support PS2) and a minor jaunt down to the White Rose Centre (although the wind was strong enough to have to brace myself on the way in and out). After seven weeks of being near-housebound, you can only begin to imagine how liberating this is.

The other thing the hospital has now sorted out is the X-Rays IT- I just needed to take a card there and back & the results were visible on the computer screen.

One thing I had noticed them do last time in X-Ray was to put a small piece of masking tape onto the cassette. I asked them about it this time- it was a small lead letter R- denoting right hand X-Ray room. It seems that the imaging unit is common to both rooms so that it is a sanity check as to which image is which in case of muddles. A surprisingly low-tech solution in a high-tech environment.
