Hospital Update

The Doctor has confirmed that poor Jim has had a stroke. Happily there doesn't seem to be any damage to his speech and mobility and that seems to have recovered. He was allowed out of hospital yesterday afternoon with strict instructions to take it easy and a zillion different tablets to take. He will not be allowed to drive for the next three months and has to attend the hospital as an outpatient next week for more tests and blood pressure monitoring. I checked his BP this morning and it was still quite high but better than it has been. I got a lecture from the nurse about what he can and can't eat and I was a bit miffed at the time because she was going on and on about not frying food etc and I actually grill almost everything in fact my George Foreman grill is used all the time. As a family we are probably guilty of eating too much butter and cakes so that will have to stop and I've already been out and stocked up on low fat spread, porridge, fruit and vegetables so the new regime has started.

Till later.
