Great to hear all the platitudes with which I concur but I am coming out to see you two weeks on Friday so demand a massive improvement by then or there will be trouble !

In all seriousness, fair play to you.

A long stay in hospital can cause one to lose track of time and optimism.

Writing a contemporaneous diary after my cancer treatments and subsequent complications was cathartic and ultimately formed the basis of my case against the NHS for malpractice.

That lunch of croquettes looked very grim so at very least I'll bring you something nicer if you're still in hospital.
